Biota of New Ingrea/Plants

Plants make a major component of the Biota of New Ingrea. Indeed there are thought to be many more species of plant on the islands than there are species of animal. The islands are populated by species from across the major clades of angiosperms, gymnosperms, and - most significantly - ferns.
