Acacia denticulosa

[edit]

Acacia denticulosa

  • ... that the threatened sandpaper wattle (pictured) is extinct at the site it was first collected?

5x expanded by Casliber (talk), Melburnian (talk). Nominated by Casliber (talk) at 07:50, 10 May 2014 (UTC).

  • Length (>5x), date, hook's ref verified. Img is from Commons and looks great at this size so I'd recommend making this the set's lead hook. No apparent close-paraphrasing. Interesting hook. QPQ is done. GTG. --Rosiestep (talk) 20:04, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
Comment. Could we have a bit earlier in the lede to the etymology of its latin name? It is well-referenced but not mentioned at first sight, which threw me: as I checked the refs and couldn't find it until I got to section 1, "Taxonomy". If that throws me it will throw others, I come as an intelligent but ignorant reader: and so do millions of others. Si Trew (talk) 22:57, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
