Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Frullania wairua; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Interesting rare tiny plant, on few but fine sources, offline source accepted AGF. The hook is fine. I am surprised the the "new" from the heading in the book source is not mentioned in the article. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 10:46, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerda Arendt: Good call! I totally forgot to add a taxonomy section on this one, but have put a sentence in the lead explaining the "new" statement. Fritzmann (message me) 13:59, 2 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
