Pretty sure that the answer . . .

is no. Many plants are adapted to different environments. Some plants have lighter colored leaves so they transpire less, some only open their stomata at night to reduce the rate of transpiration, some have thorns/needs to provide shade, which reduces the rate of transpiration and provides an opportunity for condensation, and some have brightly colored leaves to increase their ability to reflect the sun, which helps reduce the rate of transpiration. Basically, plant transpiration rates depend on their adaptations to their environments, and because environments differ over the globe I would imagine it's safe to say no. I'm no expert,double check, but these are things I remember from physical geography. Hope I helped.
