Comments per Casliber's request

@Casliber:

Added some Needs citation and Clarify (sorry)
Moved Description to before Taxonomy
I personally don't like semi-colons when periods will do. Changed a few.
This sentence from the lead is breaking my brain and I don't know how to clarify it because I have no idea what it's trying to say: They have a rounded habit with very dense branches with opposite leaves that are lanceolate-oblong, leathery or gathered in groups on the same node and by a dark green, shiny and slightly waxy surface and prominent veins. I want to put a full stop at the beginning like this: They have a rounded habit with very dense branches. But the rest needs help. The Description section didn't clarify. I have not checked the sources.
Not quite sure what this lead sentence is saying either. Needs clarification: Many varieties have been bred for horticulture, with low-growing, and large, and long-flowering forms. Too many "and"s? Too many commas?
The lead could use another paragraph.
Images need alts
Description
- Could add stuff about the roots
- stems
- are the flowers single in the wild? If so, then the speciesbox pic should probably be of a specimen depicting it that way
- pits/seeds
- Chromosome counts
Taxonomy
- Organize (History, Etymology, Phylogeny)
  - Taxonomy needs phylogeny before FAC
- Should additional common names be added to lead?
- Type
Distribution and habitat
- Is it invasive? Has it escaped into the wild?
Ecology
- Section ought to be added before GAN, at least with a basic info about species interactions, pollination means, etc. Doesn't have to be too detailed until FAC
Conservation
Cultivation
- If the soil is not acidic enough, many of its nutrients (especially iron compounds) will not be available for the plant, since they will not dilute in water, so will not be absorbed by the roots. Sentence needs some cleanup.
Toxicity - should the part about the blue-skinned person be in a Toxicity section?
Citations need cleanup (I can do that if you'll allow me to move the templates to the references section (possibly even using Sfn); otherwise, when they are mixed in the code like that, I have a hard time following them)
Plants project template has phytochemistry in Description; a good cleanup would be to intro them there then elaborate in Uses on how specific ones are used
Gonna need Culture before FAC (if there are any cultural relevancies)

Hi

please say if its a bisexual plant or not. 2409:4073:81:4165:0:0:18F1:F0A1 (talk) 04:51, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
