“It’s astonishing that only two species of plants … produce psychoactive cannabinoids,” says Gertsch.

First, aren’t C. sativa and C. indica already two different species? This article thinks so.

Second, all that’s been discovered is that one more plant has this characteristic. Since just a short while ago it was astonishing that only one had it, can’t we maybe expect more? Will that be ‘astonishing’ too?
