Detailed Solution

47,000 types of plant species are found in India.
India has a rich biodiversity with numerous endemic species. About 47,000 plant species and 90,000 animal species were discovered in the Indian subcontinent, which occupies just 2.4% of the total available land area. Most of these species are found in the Western Ghats, the northeast hilly ranges, and the Himalayan ranges. The Western Ghats is home to several species owing to a high rainfall as the huge mountains interpret the monsoon winds. The northeast has a range of hills, some of which are difficult to traverse. The lack of human interference makes abundant plant species grow in these regions. The Himalayas have a variety of species owing to diverse climatic conditions.
