Very good article, however i think there are some small problems you should address, in the article, you comment on the height of the plant, measuring in stories, it would be best to use feet in this case. Also you wrote that the plant is of decidious kind, which doenst make alot of sense. You can say something along the lines that it has decidious leaves, which fall off in the fall. Also I think something along the lines of economic value, or how the plant has been used throughout the centuries would be helpful too. Good luck. Eric Cohen
Interesting article with great in-depth analysis and good explanation of how the tree got its name. It is to short and is missing some key ideas.
Here are some underlying characteristics of the tree. Fast growing, 20 to 40 feet tall (6 to 12 m), 40 feet spread, with arching shape; fern-like foliage use this to help in the description of the tree and to illustrate how massive it is. “The petals do not show very much from the distance, and the stamens that look like long threads are white pink or red pink on the tops and the bottom parts of the stamens are white.” I understand and can visualize what the petals and stamens look like, but the wording makes it more confusing. Maybe use a different approach especially for the petals. Try using this web site for more information.
Good luck,

Thank you Mr.Josh Zemel for the link, and I will check with writing center in college for describing the flower.

I added more information.
Thank you to someone who contribute the information about the Persian name for this flower.
[edit] Thank you to user Zeimusu
Hello, I saw the history of the Silk Tree page that I have been working on these days. I noticed that you helped me for my grammar, links, picture, and so on. Thank you very much. It was a great help since my college's writing center provides only 15 min for each students, and it's just not enough to go through my grammars. So I appreciate very much for your help.-Sayako july 31 2005
[edit] Persian silk tree?
I'm trying to figure out why this article is titled "Persian silk tree" when that seems to be a rather minor common name compared to simply "silk tree" (and of course in the U.S.A. it's "mimosa"!), particularly wen the species is native to much of Asia outside Persia.
- I think it is better to move the whole page, using the scientific name as title. The common names can be used as redirects to the scientific name. JoJan 16:36, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
