Notes[edit]

  • Some of the text is my translation from Lotte Burkhardt's copyleft book, in pdf form at https://www.bgbm.org/en/bgbm-press/index-eponymic-plant-names-extended-edition. - Dank (push to talk) 23:43, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • In the glossary section, the definitions are generally snippets taken word-for-word from our glossary of botanical terms. (Check the history of that page for attribution.) I'm only using snippets that are supported by the glossary in Plants of the World (see the citation). - Dank (push to talk) 23:43, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • I may get asked at some point why I don't say how long ago the basal eudicots diverged ... the answer is, we don't know. Per APweb (Stevens 2022), Leefructus, an extinct genus only recently discovered, could push back the age of Ranunculales (and the whole eudicot clade) to as old as 152 million years ago. - Dank (push to talk) 04:36, 21 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Image licenses: All were found on Commons. 29 are "own work", 2 Flickrbot. I've done the alt text. Johnboddie selected the images from Commons and put them in his sandbox, as usual. - Dank (push to talk) 23:08, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
