Of these, more than 260,000 are seed plants. Mosses, ferns, conifers, and flowering plants are all members of the plant kingdom. Some biologists also consider green algae to be plants, although many others exclude all algae from the plant kingdom and place them in Protista.

World-wide there are around 1000 species in the group. As is the case with many of the ferns the common names for club mosses have been much more stable than the scientific names, several of which have been changed in the last thirty years.
