Another day, another Banksia, it seems (I was surprised to see there is an entire Wiki project[1] devoted to a single genus). I'll review this soon. FunkMonk (talk) 19:47, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

and it wasn't even me who set that up... Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:21, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps the infobox photo could get a caption. The image description states it is cultivated, but does this mean it differs in any way from wild specimens?

added. no Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:21, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Subgenus and other abbreviations could be spelled out at first mention.

unabbreviated Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:21, 4 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

" herringbone" What's that?

It is herringbone pattern - namely the leaf lobes arise at an angle and hence give the leaf a herringbone pattern Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 03:58, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't the first letter in the taxobox caption be capitalised?

done Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 03:58, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Some technical terms need links throughout (such as petiole, perianth, etc.).

linked a few. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 04:10, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"cuneate (wedge-shaped) seed", "wedge-shaped (cuneate)". I think one gloss of this is enough...

removed extra. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 04:10, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"diameter" Should this be diametre?

heh...no.... Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 03:58, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The intro seems very short. More description?

expanded. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 04:10, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"mistakenly calling it Banksia pinnatisecta in the process" How come?

he just used a synonym is all. took out "mistakenly" might see what else I can find on it Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 04:23, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I'll pass this now. How many Banksias left to go? FunkMonk (talk) 12:59, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

about 150... Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:35, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
