A "plethora" implies an excessive amount of something, the individuals of which would be difficult or impossible to count (e.g. a pound of wheat, a bushel of corn, etc.) A "cornucopia" is similar in meaning and is, in fact usually just used as a synonym of "plethora". But, "cornucopia" represents an excessive amount of countable and tangible things (e.g. horses, watermelons, logs, etc.)
