Plant article naming convention

Hi Peter coxhead. There is a plant article naming convention request at the Help Desk. I saw your name listed at Naming_conventions_(flora) contributions and am hoping you would post your thoughts at How long does speedy deletion usually take?.[1] I asked Pmanderson on the Pmanderson talk page, but not sure if she/he will see the request. Thanks. --

Ranunculus Acraeus

Hi Peter coxhead. Thank you for deleting the common name Alpine buttercup in Ranunculus acraeus. I propose to insert as common name Cartman's buttercup, since that is the name that is given to the plant R. acraeus in the List of Ranunculus species. Do you think we should find an external source for this common name? Phacelias (talk) 12:50, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

@Phacelias: all vernacular names should be sourced, like all other information. There seems to be a convention that English names can be added to species lists without a reference, so long as there is one in the linked article, although I'm not sure that this is in line with policy on sourcing. If there's no source for "Cartman's buttercup", it should not be present either in the list or in the article. Peter coxhead (talk) 19:32, 23 July 2022 (UTC)

Goodmorning, You think this webpage might be accepted as a source? The buttercup is described by Heenan but was discovered by Joe Cartman Phacelias (talk) 06:52, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

@Phacelias: but it doesn't say that the English name is "Cartman's buttercup", so it's (mild) WP:SYNTH to move from "discovered by Cartman" to "given an English name based on him". I'll remove the name from the list until a source is found that uses this name – otherwise we are in danger of generating a name ourselves. Peter coxhead (talk) 07:51, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

I agree, thank you. Anyway, it is an Alpine buttercup, but that is not it's common name --Phacelias (talk) 08:18, 24 July 2022 (UTC)

Phryma

Looks like you're the primary editor for Phryma. The photo used for the Phryma article is not Phryma leptostachya (or Phrymaceae at all). I suspect it's a legume of some kind. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:American_Lop-seed_(Phryma_leptostachya)_(5909584841).jpg 98.192.193.83 (talk) 19:48, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
