The number of known plants species in the world and its annual increase (2016, background): “…plant families are Orchidaceae (ca 736 genera, ca 28,000 species; Chase et al. 2015) and Asteraceae (ca 1,623 genera, ca 24,700 species; e.g. Funk et al. 2009), the difference showing that the generic taxonomy of Asteraceae appears to need further revision as the rate of species per genus…”
