Help on editing article[edit]

Hi guys! I’m a uni student working on this article for an assignment, could anyone have a look over it in the next couple of days? Thank you! TheRealDinosaur222 (talk) 10:05, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

flat perennial herb[edit]

What does "flat" mean in the context? - my initial hypothesis was prostrate, but that doesn't fit with the epithet, nor with the height range given. Lavateraguy (talk) 08:56, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

round or toothed[edit]

Round and toothed are not usually alternatives. I would expect round to apply to the overall shape of the leaf, though it is a relatively unspecific term, while toothed refers to the nature of the margin. Lavateraguy (talk) 09:03, 25 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

F.Muell. ex Benth.[edit]

The typical interpretation of this is that a description of the species by Ferdinand Mueller was published in a work written/compiled by George Bentham. The citation given in Bentham's work is F.Muell. Herb., which I would take as an indication that the name and description were associated with the plant in Mueller's herbarium.

Hi! Thank you so much for editing this article and giving some extra feedback. I've made some changes that you suggested, I changed "flat" to "erect" in the opening sentence, when I wrote "flat" i was referring to the leaves not the entire plant but I didn't make that clear so thank you for pointing that out. I also changed "rounded and toothed" to just "round"; here I was referring to the leaf margins but only wrote in leaves, so again that was unclear. I also changed the last sentence of the taxonomy; I interpreted the original source wrong. Overall, thank you for the edits and suggestions! TheRealDinosaur222 (talk) 09:28, 26 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
