Sartidia perrieri

[edit]

Created by Tylototriton (talk). Self-nominated at 13:41, 12 June 2016 (UTC).

  • Article's new enough and big enough. Are we fine with inferring that the plant is named after the discoverer - I don't see it explicitly said but it's very likely? Also, are "lower glume" = "awns"? The length of the awns mentioned in the article refers only to the lower glume in the source - unless I missed something. Everything else appears to be reliably sourced - I am inclined to consider "only been found in Madagascar" = "endemic". Hook(s) seem(s) interesting and are mentioned in article & reliably sourced, the closing reviewer may go with either of them. Didn't notice any plagiarism or copyvio. You don't appear to have enough DYKs to require a QPQ, so ready to go when these two nags are resolved.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 19:47, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
True, the original description does not explicitly state Perrier as the one it was named after. But since he's the collector and quite a number of Malagasy plants are named after him, it is definitely safe to say that... "Lower glume" = "lemma", and awns are only on the lemma. Linked "awns" to clarify that. Tylototriton (talk) 09:32, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
Found a different number for awn length which I've now edited in.Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 11:23, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
