Hi Classicwiki, I've had a quick look at this one. I've made a couple of changes to improve grammar but there are two sections that need citations for the article to be eligible for DYK. Let me know if you can fix these and I will come back to complete the review. Thanks - Dumelow (talk) 09:21, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Dumelow, some of the information had to be stripped, but tried to address the CN tags the best I could. Let me know what you think. --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply to me here, please ping me. 04:19, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Mezbalogh, @Alalch E., @MtBotany, do you know the source of the new count in 2022 which found approximately 900 individuals? I cannot find the survey. Right now I only find sources for the ~400 count. --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply to me here, please ping me. 18:47, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Classicwiki Mezbalogh was the editor who added that information. It was unclear where they got it from. I left it in while looking for a good source, but was not able to find the 900. I did find a presentation from Nevada Division of Natural Heritage saying 725. I've updated the article to reflect this. That work okay? 🌿MtBotany (talk) 20:13, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- Thank you. Mezbalogh is the creator of this article and an entirely new editor unfamiliar with Wikipedia policy who had added some of their (explicitly) original research to the original version and first few revisions. So they probably got it from their individual, original, research.—Alalch E. 23:13, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

- Thanks all, changes made look good. Classicwiki, I will complete the DYK review: Article created 18 June and is of good length; sources used look to be reliable for the content cited; I don't have access to all the sources but didn't find any issue with overly close paraphrasing in a spotcheck; hooks are interesting and stated in the article (I amended ALT0 to "around two desert springs" as there is a third cluster nearby), AGF on sourcing to journal I don't have access to; image is good and properly licensed; a QPQ is not required in this case. Should be good to go. I just had one remaining query on a part of the text that discusses recreational use of the area and links this to invasive weeds, which I couldn't find in the source. Once this is sorted it will be good to go - Dumelow (talk) 08:19, 27 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Dumelow, I added some citations that these noxious weeds are a problem in Spring Mountains and Clark County area, where the plant is located. Tweaked the sentence. Let me know if there is anything else I need to address. Thx, --Classicwiki (talk) If you reply to me here, please ping me. 05:45, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
Hi Classicwiki, I've given it a tick. I removed a bit about recreation that I couldn't find in the source, feel free to re-add if you can support it - Dumelow (talk) 07:33, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
