Length, source, and date are good, but the hook could be more interesting. You could mention that saltcedar and peppergrass are competitive invasive species, or mention other threats like urban development, to make it more interesting. How about one of these alts:

ALT 1: ... that Ute lady's tresses (pictured) are threatened by invasive species like saltcedar and peppergrass?

ALT 2: ... that Ute lady's tresses (pictured) are threatened by invasive species, urban development, and even river restoration activities?

I actually prefer the original; ALT1 sort of reveals the unknown element, and ALT2 is applicable to most every plant :) Rcej (Robert) – talk 02:48, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Just a suggestion, I guess that will be all right though. Everything else is fine, so it's good to go. Smokeybjb (talk) 15:45, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
