Scientific Classification question on Order[edit]

I believe the Order should be Scrophulariales not Lamiales currently in the scientific classification. Could anyone who is authoritive on such add any comment?

On some of these obscure species its hard to get an answer on a question sometimes. Ive posted on talk pages months ago which haven't been replied to. If you feel like the relevant sources indicate classification within Scrophulariales then go ahead and change it and if someone disagrees they can revert you and then both of you can compare sources on this page to determine the best classification. I don't really understand all the justifications behind plant taxoboxes, an editor wrote on my talk page "most of our taxoboxes jumble Cronquist higher taxonomy and APG lower taxonomy" and you might end up on the losing end of that jumble but go ahead and 'be bold', work from verifiable material, and it will work itself out.

Taxobox and classification updated. Order Lamiales; Family Scrophulariaceae. Gderrin (talk) 07:06, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hort[edit]

Hello @Gderrin and @Plantdrew: The reference[1] in Hort. does use the capital. The article Hort. does not however. Obviously we should prefer the source's version without an other authority. Invasive Spices (talk) 22 November 2022 (UTC)

@Invasive Spices:, I looked at the capitalization of incoming links to Hort. before I made any changes. A slight majority had it lower-case, so I made edits to standardize to lower-case; if the majority had it capitalized I would have standardized that way. Hort. isn't a person's name, so it doesn't necessarily need to be capitalized. And it's optional to cite any authority appearing before an "ex.", and this article now follows POWO in attributing M. crystallinum solely to Kunze.
