I know it's endangered and all, but as a herb with a definition of "culinary, medicinal, or in some cases even spiritual value", what does it taste like? Or its medical value? Bihal 00:08, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
- good question bihal. havent seen any citations in the literature as to medicinal or culinary value. as to taste, i havent tasted one, since the species is endangered :) Covalent 20:36, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
- "herb" is used here in its botanical definition. A definition that takes half of the herb article, not in its culinary meaning. Circeus 01:10, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good Article nomination has failed
The Good article nomination for Hickman's potentilla has failed, for the following reason(s):
- The language is in many cases too technical. Consider the first couple of sentences:
- Hickman’s potentilla is a rosetted non-glandular flowering plant with a thick taproot.[1] It has a stem that is prostrate to decumbent, of variable length five to forty five centimeters, which may occur in a glabrous manifestation
What does non-glandular mean? What does decumbent mean? What does glabrous mean? These all need explaining for the non-botanist. Worldtraveller 20:30, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Passed GA
This article is a GA quality article on a little-known plant. Before trying to make it a FA, I'd reccomend looking at the subpage for the nomination, to see what people objected to.
