SECOND IN RICHNESS. “As the dominant plant taxon, angiosperms are estimated to contain at least 350,000 extant species, placing them second only to insects in terms of species richness. This contrasts with their ancient woody competitors, the gymnosperms, which are apparently in stasis and comprise less than 1,000 species.”
