Overall: Article meets eligibility criterial for newness and for length. Well sourced. Written with a neutral tone. Hook as quoted in the source says A friend would take him to Temple Newsam, where he began exploring the textures, tastes and shapes of leaves using his tongue. Some amount of extrapolation from there to saying used his tongue to tell the difference between plants. Though there is some extrapolation, I am alright with the hook as it stands. Also, the hook's text as written in the article's body says He referred to the tip of his tongue as a microscope, as he could detect minute difference between plants with it. Article's lede looks good. A minor edit can be attempted to bring the article's body close to the lede and to the hook. But, with or without that I am good. Hook is interesting. Copyvio looks good. WP:AGF on offline sources. QPQ is done. Marking this hook as approved. Nice work. Ktin (talk) 00:24, 15 December 2021 (UTC)
