Article is new enough, long enough and within policy regarding neutrality, sourcing and close paraphrasing. Earwig detected a 26.5% match to the source https://www.history.nd.gov/publications/PlantWizard.pdf, which appears to be related to matches in titles of institutions, departments, publications and quoted phrases. The article and hook are interesting and the hook is neutral. QPQ obligation has been satisfied. Alansohn (talk) 13:50, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
