How many unique elyrian flora & fauna are you designing per biome? Percentage wise?

Will there be Mann eating plants?

Are you able to share any examples of flora and fauna from "exotic" biomes unlike those of Earth (e.g. something like Minecraft's Mushroom Forests)?

How many plant types are there going to be that can be used for herbal/apothecary use and can you use roots, leaves, stems, seed and so on for different medicinal uses.

Edit: Clarification. There are about 391,000 species of vascular plants currently known to science, of which about 369,000 species (or 94 percent) are flowering plants, according to a report by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, in the United Kingdom.

Many of those have been found to have some sort of alchemical, herbal or drug use. I wanted to know a rough ball park of how many Elyria will have and how extensive we'll be able to use the whole of the plant.

What in general are your design guidelines for developing new plants and animals? Science? Rule of cool? Plausibility? Evolution?
