At least 250,000 flowering-plant species are alive today. Even the book-keeping for plants already described by botanists is debated. Some insist that plant explorers have only discovered and named half of all the extant species. That logic would put the total number of flower-bearing species at a half million. The most floral diversity can be found in rain forests of the earth’s equatorial belts. As recently as 1950, 15 percent of the earth’s surface was clothed in verdant rain forests. . . . . Every acre of these richest of all habitats may hold 750 kinds of trees and 1,500 flowering plants. Some estimate are that we are losing 137 plant and animal species each day., a staggering 50,000 annual extinction due to tropical deforestation alone. Half of all the world’s plants animals live in these rain forests. ` Page298
