Many biotemplating and biomineralization molecules are able to template a wide range of nanoparticles and effect control to form different sizes and shapes. For example, we wrote a recent highlight on biotemplated metal and metal oxide nanoparticles that explore a range of different technologically relevant biotemplated nanoparticles and nanostructures. We also cite some recent reviews articles that discuss other biotemplated nanomaterials that may be of interest. I can't think of any specific molecules from plants, although there is some interesting work using viruses as biotemplates. I hope this helps with your question.

by standardization of ph, temperature and agitation mode we can control the size of the nano particles through biosynthesis
From my experiences, control of distribution of particle sizes is more difficult
Depends on method applied for the synthesis, e.g. some enzymes could be applied than depend on duration of synthsis

enjoy!
The amount of plant extract used may play a significant role in the size of the nanoparticles, lower amount may produce smaller nanoparticles.
