I don't know why this page is titled the Tasmanian Tree Fern. Soft-tree fern is more commonly used. |
- The two terms seem to be used equally. I have moved the page to its scientific name for this reason. SCHZMO ✍ 23:42, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
This page is UK focused, which is inappropriate for a plant not native to Britain and which is cultivated in a range of countries. 101.173.127.254 (talk) 07:59, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
Photograph
[edit]Would it not be more appropriate to have a photograph of a large specimen in its natural habitat, rather that a rather small, sad looking one it a pot in someone's backyard? Glennnnn 01:36, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
- Definitely. Next time I get to Tasmania I'll take care of it. Only I don't think I'll get to Tasmania (at least not anytime soon). We need to find some Australian Wikipeidans who get down that way to get us a pic. --DanielCD 01:43, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
- Done. There was already a good pic at the commons. SCHZMO ✍ 23:29, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
Renaming
[edit]This species name has been moved in the relevant plant catalgues to Balantium antarctica following a publication of 2012, as stated in "The Plant List" and the new LCVP (Leipzi catalogue of vascular plants). See http://legacy.tropicos.org/NamePage.aspx?nameid=50183033 and http://www.theplantlist.org/tpl1.1/record/tro-50183030 The LCVP appears to be available as a download from Github only, for the time being. Should this page be renamed and Dicksonia antarctica relay to it instead? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:908:695:36A0:3D4B:5AB3:6336:1A48 (talk) 00:23, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
