Clay soils

[edit]

I am buffing this one as I'm reading about it and just bought a few plants (3 x orange box and 1 x gold fever). I am on clay soil so choice of proteaceae limited and some local provenance mucronulata just died :P Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:03, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ah yes, that reminded me to add the all important drainage factor here.--Melburnian (talk) 00:44, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

More than pleased to take up this review. Of course, you have improved the article awesomely, but I have a few suggestions:

  • Robert Brown once linked in the lead need not be linked again afterwards. Same for inflorescence
hmm, not sure about this - tradition has been to link once in lead and once in body - the MOS on linking does not confirm this however. Have been doing it this way for (probably) 50 FAs so far Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:04, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Perhaps Grevillea juniperina can be abbreviated as G. juniperina at some places.
abbreviated some that do not begin a sentence Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:04, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • In Description, ...though occasionally arise... --> ...though they occasionally arise...
done Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:04, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • The spider-like flowers are red, pink, orange, yellow or greenish, and are mostly terminal—arising on the ends of stems—though occasionally arise from axillary buds. They are 2.5–3.5 cm (1–1 3⁄8 in) long. The spider-flower arrangement of the inflorescence has several individual flowers emerging from a central rounded flower head—reminiscent of the legs of a spider. Perhaps the latter sentence should precede the former one, the reader would primarily like to know why they are called d spider-like.
flipped Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:04, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • ...and releases 1–2 seeds when ripe... According to MOS,one to two seeds would read better.
done Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:04, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Conversion templates required towards the end of "Description".
added Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:04, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Who is Don MacGillivray? Provide a link or give their identity.
linked Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:06, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • G. juniperina subsp. allojohnsonii According to what I have seen elsewhere, may be you could also write G. j. allojohnsonii? See for instances throughout the text. Not sure if it applies to plant species.
  • A better way of presentation: G. juniperina subsp. fortis Makinson --> G. j. fortis Makinson ; G. juniperina subsp. sulphurea (A.Cunn.) Makinson (formerly var. trinervata) -->G. juniperina subsp. sulphurea (A.Cunn.) Makinson (formerly var. trinervata) Can you also add the years in which they were named?
I've put the small authorities in - am not so sure about putting the dates after commas in body of text. Have put a note explaing they were all ratified in 2000. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 13:03, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Link alluvial, eucalypt, woodland, hybrid
done Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:04, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Intervals of 10 to 15 years between fires are thought to be... sounds a bit vague.
the vagueness reflects that we think this is the case but do not know conclusively that it's true Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:04, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • ...negatively impact on its growth... remove "on"
done Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:04, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
  • Could you explain more on the negative impact boxthorn has on the juniper?
inhibits its spread - added last word... Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:04, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I feel all the issues have been resolved. This is quite ready for the GA status. Congrats! Sainsf <^>Talk all words 16:18, 27 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ref 53

[edit]

(Ping me to notify) Is it just me, or that ref 53 (Poorinda Queen) is weird? Unlike the others, "List of Registered Cultivars derived from Australian native flora" is not italicised, but "Australian Cultivar Registration Authority. Archived from the original on 30 March 2015. Retrieved 26 September 2014" is. I tried checking for markup errors, but can't seem to find one. GeraldWL 07:12, 25 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
