NINETY PERCENT. “Angiosperms, which originated ∼200 Ma, are the most recently diversifying major lineage of land plants. They underwent a rapid diversification, outcompeting and outnumbering other land plants to the point of representing nearly 90% (ca. 260,000 species) of all extant plant species and defining most of the Earth’s terrestrial ecosystems since the mid-Cretaceous, ca. 100 Ma BP.”
