• New article at 1996 bytes.
• Neutral.
• Cited inline, refs seem up to snuff.
• QPQ met.

• Hook is short and sufficiently interesting.
• Image is appropriately licensed.

Issues:

• Three refs are bare urls, that should be fixed.

• formatted those three now. Casliber (talk · contribs) 03:56, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Suggestions:

• It's a bit hard to see the grass in the image at dyk resolution.

• agree. Might have a play with it later. Casliber (talk · contribs) 03:58, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

I will check for close paraphrasing and that refs and material match tomorrow. Chris857 (talk) 02:58, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

Assuming good faith on offline sources, article checks for copyvio and references matching the article. My only remaining question is - which source indicates that "The flowering panicles are open and feathery at maturity"? Chris857 (talk) 17:36, 23 May 2012 (UTC)

I suspect it comes from ref #1 - Les Robinson - Field Guide to the Native Plants of Sydney - which I do not have, and was added by Poyt448 (talk · contribs) Casliber (talk · contribs) 04:28, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

I think I can let that one slide as the picture shows them as what I would describe as feathery. So this passes. Chris857 (talk) 17:55, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
