Dudleya cymosa subsp. pumila

... ~~that the type specimen of Dudleya pumila is actually the only accurate representation of Dudleya cymosa in its range, so D.pumila became a subspecies?~~ Source: Nakai, Kei M. (1987). “Some New and Reconsidered California Dudleya (Crassulaceae)”. Madroño. 34(4): 338–339.

QPQ: Done.

Overall: Thank you for this article. A nice plant. Just a few issues. (1) I hope we can liven up the hook and find a picture - you have some good pictures in the article - what about one of those? (2) There's nothing actually wrong with the hook - I'm just not sure whether even a biologist would find the taxonomy hooky. According to the article, it grows in some great places and quite high up - could we mention that it grows in some interesting high-up location? (3) The first para in the description section needs a citation. If we can resolve the above 3 issues, this nom should be OK. Storye book (talk) 17:44, 3 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this article is DYK-worthy. The species it was moved to is not even monophyletic. The taxonomy for this genus is very convoluted and I don't think a layman could understand unless they read the genus page. = Toyonbro (talk) January 10, 2022

Toyonbro I highly disagree that the article isn't DYK-worthy. I do realize that you started the article, but the nomination will continue to proceed because you don't own it. SL93 (talk) 08:22, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Storye book I took care of the uncited sentence, added more information to the article, and I added an image to the nomination. I propose ALT1 ... that the Sonoran blue butterfly uses Dudleya cymosa subsp. pumila as a plant host and hummingbirds feed on its nectar? SL93 (talk) 08:22, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, SL93 for sorting out the citations, picture and hook (which checks out in its article citation). I approve all of those. Good to go with ALT1. Storye book (talk) 09:49, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
