Yggdrasil — the plant kingdom in text

An accessible, text-only index of the interactive tree above. It covers roughly 390,000 accepted species across the 479 families of land plants (Embryophyta) — from mosses and ferns through gymnosperms to the flowering plants — with ~14,129 genera. Of those, 365,557 are accepted names counted from Kew's World Checklist of Vascular Plants and ~24,000 are estimates: 27 families WCVP circumscribes differently, plus the bryophyte classes, which WCVP does not cover. The classification follows APG IV and PPG I; divergence ages are crown estimates from the Jin & Qian (2022) dated megatree.

Notably, the largest family is Asteraceae (~35,483 species); the oldest surviving lineage here is Ginkgoaceae (stem age ≈270 million years); the most widely distributed is Lycopodiaceae.
