Hi, I'll review this article. FunkMonk (talk) 23:57, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Seems a bit scant on images, perhaps this one[1] could be added somewhere?
Yeah...actually I'll have a dig around on my hard drive and see if I can find some moreCas Liber (talk·contribs) 00:59, 1 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The main issue I find with the article is that there are many uncommon terms that are not explained. The links of course help, but as with other technical articles, I think explaining in parenthesis would be helpful for the layreader...
"Banksia aculeata grows as a bushy shrub" I'm not sure what this means?
"is composed of the wedge-shaped seed body proper" Not sure what this means?
removed 'proper'. There is the seed body (containing the fertile bit) and a membranous wing. Added that it contains embryonic plant..does that help?Cas Liber (talk·contribs) 02:41, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"Although it was collected by James Drummond, Banksia aculeata was not formally described until 1981" Perhaps mention the date in the intro, otherwise the significance of the rest of the sentence will be lost on those who don't know when Drummond lived.
Though you haven't commented after all points here, it seems you have addressed all in the article itself? FunkMonk (talk) 18:18, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I hadn't rejigged the pistils or perianths yet, and got sidetracked as I have to get a vine to grow on a fence...so was looking at and editing some articles....hang on....Cas Liber (talk·contribs) 19:16, 2 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Update - have tried to expand all - let me know what is still tricky. Cheers,Cas Liber (talk·contribs) 00:47, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good now. Did you find some more photos in your archives? FunkMonk (talk) 07:46, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I uploaded this one - it is aculeata BUT the follicles should have a more wrinkly surface..so we were both puzzled....Cas Liber (talk·contribs) 13:13, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, ok, if it's iffy, never mind. If there are no more remarks, I'm ready to pass. FunkMonk (talk) 13:21, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Driveby comments from Sainsf: Another hit by Cas Liber. Would like to point out a few things. Sainsf<^>Talk all words 06:02, 4 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
In the lead, is not the line It generally grows as a dense shrub up to 2 m (7 ft) tall, has leaves with very prickly serrated margins, and unusual pinkish, pendent (hanging) inflorescences; generally hidden in the foliage, these appear during the early summer rather too long? Could be split?
