Sartidia perrieri
[edit]- ... that the DNA of Sartidia perrieri's only known herbarium specimen was successfully sequenced 100 years after its collection?
- ALT1:... that only one specimen of the grass Sartidia perrieri, endemic to Madagascar, has ever been found?

Article's new enough and big enough. Are we fine with inferring that the plant is named after the discoverer - I don't see it explicitly said but it's very likely? Also, are "lower glume" = "awns"? The length of the awns mentioned in the article refers only to the lower glume in the source - unless I missed something. Everything else appears to be reliably sourced - I am inclined to consider "only been found in Madagascar" = "endemic". Hook(s) seem(s) interesting and are mentioned in article & reliably sourced, the closing reviewer may go with either of them. Didn't notice any plagiarism or copyvio. You don't appear to have enough DYKs to require a QPQ, so ready to go when these two nags are resolved.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:47, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
- True, the original description does not explicitly state Perrier as the one it was named after. But since he's the collector and quite a number of Malagasy plants are named after him, it is definitely safe to say that... "Lower glume" = "lemma", and awns are only on the lemma. Linked "awns" to clarify that. Tylototriton (talk) 09:32, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
Found a different number for awn length which I've now edited in.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 11:23, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
