There seems to be a problem across a number of pages of plant species being described as endemic to Western Australia when they actually have a much broader range, and when this isn't supported by the souce — generally WA Florabase. WA Florabase is a highly credible souce, but an appearance in WA Florabase in itself is not in itself evidence of endemism to WA. This is something I've noticed as someone interested in Victorian flora. I'm happy to edit them as and when I come across them but if anyone has other suggestions about how to address this I'm all ears. I'm not a very experienced Wikipedian so I'm not sure if there's something obvious or standard practice I'm missing. PeoplesFootscray (talk) 06:24, 3 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
