Dear Student,

With about 47,000 plant species India occupies tenth place in the world and fourth in Asia in plant diversity. There are about 15,000 flowering plants in India which account for 6 per cent in the world’s total number of flowering plants. The country has many non-flowering plants such as ferns, algae and fungi.

India also has 89,000 species of animals as well as a rich variety of fish in its fresh and marine waters.
