Is a plant class of species a good idea?

I will ask for a refund and sue if we dont get plants. We need plants. Plants are green, sometimes other colours and they are very cool. Maybe you have seen a plant before, pretty cool right? Would make sence to put them in. But some weird dude at paradox with a fungus fetish had to give us a bunch of silly, disgusting, plague spewing, rotting pieces of shit instead.

Like others have said, species type is mostly cosmetic, so I don't see any downside in adding more. Especially when the portraits so far have been wonderful. I think a plant species has a lot of exotic design direction it can go - beyond the usual plant/tree people (that being said, I would still enjoy seeing a few plant humanoids ).
Here's some good examples:

What's your favorite plant family? I like Ericaceae because they are cool and have a lot of really interesting looking stuff, especially Arctostaphylos and Arbutus. I also like Themidaceae, which grow in the meadows here and are in bloom right now.

Cactuses.... Easy to look after. Anyhow... I have managed to kill all cactuses I ever had.
Once I remembered that I have cactus what I bought "recently" and figured that it needs watering... According to receipt I for whatever reason left under its tray, I bought it a little over 16 months ago. Haven't bought any cactuses ever since.
I'm a bad person
Cam and C4 plants >>>> C3 plants
more productive, more evoluted.
Graminee and Cruciferae >>>
For trees, tree ferns win
Flowers, Orchidaceae, Rosaceae, Liliaceae,
Ferns just because they move if you touch them and because spores and living the life aploid
Of course Gymnosperms rule

I dont like Plants that have pollen...
So what kind of Plant should I root for?

I think I hyped myself about the possibilities of plants to the point I'll probably be a little disappointed if we end up not getting them.
I'm ok with them not having any special mechanics at this point as we can just imagine them using farm as places to photosynthesize.
The more species the better I say.

Plant phenotype would be definitly awesome.
It would be a great occasion to play something different, like the fungis with an more organic theme in buildings and ships. It don't need to have a new mechanic even if there is photosynthesis. Plants, like fungus, need nutriments on the ground for grow up so food is a "normal" mechanic for them.
Moreover plants are everywhere on the planet so they could live pretty much in every planet we can choose at start. Algae like plant for oceanic, cactus for arid or desertic world, coniferous for arctic or tundra...

The Supox are doing double takes at the idea plant species, no matter how improbable (which even they admit), wouldn't be added to Stellaris!

It's too late into the thread to matter anymore, but when we are talking about plants and photosynthesis, it is just common sense to assume that when I mean "self produced energy" I mean photosynthesis and other related chemical forms of producing the electricity or heat needed for propulsion, not physics based propulsion that slaves rowing oars would produce.
Those are called Poaceae and Brassicaceae now. Taxonomy!
Nice choices, orchids are cool and there's a ton of diversity in rosaceae. You should probably know that Liliaceae's been broken up though, there's still a family by that name but a lot of stuff has its own families now.
How is that common sense? It's like saying that humans should make ships powered by ATP since we have mitochondria.

On a topic about plants, if someone brings up into discussion self-produced energy, a characteristic iconic to plants, in light of vehicle propulsion in an age where vehicles would probably use electrical energy to move, it's not my fault that the first thing that comes into mind is oremen and not photosynthetic-propulsion.
You do realize that humans already use photovoltaic solar power, right? Photosynthetic solar power wouldn't be any more useful, and there's a reason we don't power our inorganic stuff with glucose. I don't think it's accurate to say "these things which sit in the dirt all day would clearly use all that energy to fly through the universe, that's just common sense".
