  • New article at 1996 bytes.
  • Neutral.
  • Cited inline, refs seem up to snuff.
  • QPQ met.
  • Hook is short and sufficiently interesting.
  • Image is appropriately licensed.
Issues:
  • Three refs are bare urls, that should be fixed.
Suggestions:
  • It's a bit hard to see the grass in the image at dyk resolution.
I will check for close paraphrasing and that refs and material match tomorrow. Chris857 (talk) 02:58, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
Assuming good faith on offline sources, article checks for copyvio and references matching the article. My only remaining question is - which source indicates that "The flowering panicles are open and feathery at maturity"? Chris857 (talk) 17:36, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
I suspect it comes from ref #1 - Les Robinson - Field Guide to the Native Plants of Sydney - which I do not have, and was added by Poyt448 (talk · contribs) Casliber (talk · contribs) 04:28, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
I think I can let that one slide as the picture shows them as what I would describe as feathery. So this passes. Chris857 (talk) 17:55, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
