• I'll take a look at this shortly. Mélencron (talk) 19:47, 2 February 2018 (UTC)

• Concerning the wording of the main hook, I'm not sure if the Seattle Times articles actually substantiate the claim: as I'm reading it, the article says that they're plants native to the Old World and New World, while the wording "from around the world" would seem to suggest that these plants were transplanted from around the world. ALT1 is unambiguously true, however. That aside, the rest looks fine: new article with 1897 characters, appropriately cited throughout, hooks are short enough and either would be interesting; required QPQ is pending.

• @Mélencron: QPQ added above and struck the hook. Also going to propose a new hook below. SounderBruce 08:30, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

• I'll approve ALT2. Mélencron (talk) 13:21, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
