[edit] Citations Needed
Should the claim at the end about a guy living to 124 have a source, and other things to, such as "In addition, preliminary evidence suggests that it may have nootropic effects."
I've added citation needed markers to the mentioned unsourced statements. 24.220.79.116 23:43, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
I've created a new section for the unverifiable bits, "Folklore". Kitarra 01:01, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
I have added citations and removed the citation needed markers. I also corrected the Richard Lucas information- he may have popularized the herb, but he got the species wrong, assumed a nonexistent subspecies and a nonexistant Vitamin X. The linked article by master herbalist Michael Moore explains more. Karen S Vaughan 13:39, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Problem with the Widgerow citation
I tried, but this is the first time I've cited a journal and it looks as if I've bolloxed it up. Can someone tell me where I've gone wrong? 24.220.79.116 23:37, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Aha, nevermind, it looks as if I've fixed it. 24.220.79.116 23:43, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
I've changed the link from a full-text payment-required pdf to a free abstract. Kitarra 00:59, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Different types of Gotu Kola or entirely different species
I've noticed at least three different looking plants all claiming to be Kotu Kola, including the one pictured here:

As well as plants that look more like the one in this article's photo.
Is it possible these are all different types of Gotu Kola or is one type not the real McCoy?202.88.81.69 (talk) 06:39, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
