Deuteronomy 8:8 calls Israel "a land of wheat, barley, grapevines, figs, and pomegranates; a land of oil olives and (date) honey."

The "seven species" come from this verse:

  • Wheat (chitah in Hebrew)
  • Barley (se'orah in Hebrew)
  • Grapes (vine, gefen in Hebrew), usually consumed as wine
  • Figs (te'enah in Hebrew)
  • Pomegranates (rimon in Hebrew)
  • Olives (zayit in Hebrew), usually consumed in oil form
  • Dates (tamar or in the verse, honey, d'vash in Hebrew)

Do angiosperm species outnumber all other land plant species seven to one?

Yes, angiosperm species, or flowering plants, do outnumber all other land plant species significantly, with estimates suggesting they outnumber non-angiosperm plants by about seven to one. Angiosperms account for approximately 80% of all terrestrial plant species, including trees, shrubs, herbs, and grasses. This remarkable diversity is attributed to their unique reproductive features, such as flowers and fruits, which enhance pollination and seed dispersal.
