QPQ: Done.

Overall: great article, interesting hooks 2 and 3. The first hook is probably a bit too much on the plant jargon side to be understood by the mainstream. In an article I found it better explained. How about ...that the critically endangered Menai Strait whitebeams population only contains about 30 plants? If you prefer number 2 or 3 just let me know and I put a check on it.

  • I dont have any strong preferences for any of my hooks, though as a note, I dont think alt0 is jargony at all--Kevmin § 14:50, 8 September 2021 (UTC)
