Yeah, this paper notes a zone where paludosa, robur and oblongifolia all occur (and that the latter two are known to hybridise), then analyzes plants of each and announces some markers for each....without making any finding of hybridization...weird...unless I am missing something (???)

I guess this is about tools for studying speciation among these Banksia species, not about actually studying it. Not much use for this article. Ucucha 18:50, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Did you look at this, Cas? It's at doi:10.1071/WF04024, but I don't have access to it. Doesn't look like it has a lot of stuff on this species. Ucucha 18:50, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Aha, it is a false positive - came up due to mention of Allocasuarina paludosa and Banksia marginata. B. paludosa does not grow in east gippsland. WRT B. marginata there are variable effects and the study concentrates on the flora as a whole. Casliber (talk · contribs) 03:26, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Will add comments hopefully in a few days. Ucucha 14:55, 11 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Aha, Kioloa is well south of Barren Grounds, so it remains Brown Antechinus. Casliber (talk · contribs) 02:24, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Obovate" is defined on second, but not first occurrence.
done Casliber (talk · contribs) 02:24, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • First paragraph of "Description" is rather long.
just thinking about where to split nicely subject- and appearance-wise.... Casliber (talk · contribs) 02:54, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps separate paragraphs about the flowers and about the seedlings? Ucucha 15:12, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Define "lignotuber" on first occurrence (it's defined in "Ecology", but is mentioned several times before that).
done Casliber (talk · contribs) 02:56, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Anything else on differences (or lack thereof) from other species?

  • The map makes it look like it occurs far south of Ulladulla, to the Victoria border.
Yes, it has a disjunct distribution, and the second population of subsp. paludosa is right on the victorian border. astrolux is almost contiguous (30 km apart) from larger northern area. Casliber (talk · contribs) 02:54, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • The map would be clearer if it did not show all of Australia, so the actual distribution could be shown in more detail.
yeah, I'll fetch a map of NSW I think and go with that tonight sometime. done Casliber (talk · contribs) 02:54, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • First sentence of "Cultivation" is rather confused. Villa San Donato is not in England, and what is the nurseryman in Bristol doing there?

har har, rejigged Casliber (talk · contribs) 02:58, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"private gardens in Clapham Common, Hackney by a nurseryman in Bristol" - some pretty strange geography there - could there be some connection with Clapton Nursery in Hackney maybe? Melburnian (talk) 05:24, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Nope - some other notable gardeners though....Casliber (talk · contribs) 14:48, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, that all makes sense to me now with the clarifications.Melburnian (talk) 15:26, 12 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm passing the article now, but do consider the last remaining comment. Ucucha 02:12, 14 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I rejigged it a little following your comment - I guess the question is whether to put a qualifier in front of the sentence about Italy like "Elsewhere in Europe," or "Outside of England," to distance it from the first comment about England. Or is it self-explanatory. Casliber (talk · contribs) 03:01, 29 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New image available

[edit]

I see there is a few images of the inflorescence available, but perhaps this could be squeezed into the article.

Nice! Will see what we can do....Casliber (talk · contribs) 20:12, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

question

[edit]

Usually there's a little infobox at the bottom of the page where I can rate & comment on the article's content. I found this to be a pretty informative article, so, naturally, I wanted to give it a solid 5 stars. Unfortunately, I was unable to find this application on this page, is this due to a technical error? felt_friend 19:39, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

not sure - I think that feature has been discontinued. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 23:08, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, this feature was discontinued some time ago.-RHM22 (talk) 23:21, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Those interested can see this page for more information.-RHM22 (talk) 23:23, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
