This is material I looked up but which seemed a bit too arcane or off-topic to really contribute to the article. Choess (talk) 23:00, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I am taking a look and making some straightforward copyedits as I go. I'll jot questions/issues below: Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 17:24, 3 February 2018 (UTC)
I have been told before that a paragraph shouldn't start with "It..". Not hugely sure about this but suspect we probably shouldn't start the whole body of text with "It.."
Do we have any dates for Gronovius or Plukenet's works to add?
At first mention of various people, best to introduce them by full name and also words as to who they are/what they do, e.g. "plant collector John Clayton" etc.
- Also, section needs some sort of not that 1753 marks the start of botanical nomenclature, as it might not be clear to novice readers.
- ...described as "rather difficult" to grow in... - reword with different words and no quotes.
-
at altitudes from 0 to 1,300 meters (0 to 4,265 ft)- imperial figure should be less exact...would have thought 4300 ft...
- Do we know nothing else that eats/feeds on them? Ecology seems a bit bare...
Otherwise looking 'Good'....
- Thanks for taking the time to slog through this, Cas. I've incorporated most of the suggestions, with some responses:
- I've properly introduced Clayton & Gronovius, and noted that Loddiges was a nurseryman, but the other figures are essentially all botanists. I think that's implicit from the context of the article; let me know if you disagree.
- I'm at a loss as to how to reword the quote, which is from an anonymous reviewer of Ekrt & Hrivnák. Since the difficulties weren't specified, I thought it best to leave it as originally phrased. Any thoughts?
- Ferns seem to have lower levels of insect predation than seed plants for reasons no one quite understands, so this is not unusual. This article seems to specify at least one species, but I don't have access to the full text. Choess (talk) 17:08, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
- I have added teh aphid...interesting critter that....I might work that one up for a DYK....I can send you the fulltext if you want. Send me an email and I can reply with it. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 00:16, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
