Notes

[edit]
  • Some of the text is my translation from Lotte Burkhardt's copyleft book, in pdf form at https://www.bgbm.org/en/bgbm-press/index-eponymic-plant-names-extended-edition.
  • In the list in the glossary section, the definitions are snippets from our glossary of botanical terms. (Check the history of that page for attribution.) I'm only using snippets that are supported by the glossary in Plants of the World (see the citation). - Dank (push to talk) 02:01, 14 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Image licenses for Brassicales: see Talk:Brassicales. Image licenses for the rest: 25 are "own work", 8 Flickr, 2 INaturalistReviewBot, 1 OTRS. I did the alt text. Johnboddie selected the images from Commons and put them in his sandbox, as usual. - Dank (push to talk) 18:21, 30 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I had two problems with this list that I didn't have with the other flowering plant lists (and this is the last one): it probably couldn't pass at FLC with fewer than 59 rows (because there are no subdivisions specifically mentioned in APG IV that would support dividing it into two sublists), and my main source for human uses doesn't list as many significant uses for many of these families. Fortunately, these two problems are kind of cancelling each other out: with 59 rows, I needed to say less per row anyway. With less to say, the entries are becoming more repetitive ... lots of "shrubs and trees". But I suppose, since this list follows some of the rules that apply to introductory or survey courses, it's inevitable that parts of it will feel basic and repetitive for people who are already familiar with the topic. - Dank (push to talk) 03:31, 19 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
