- Object Needs more inline references. --Peter Andersen 09:43, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- Object There is not enough inline references. Also, certain sections are very small. These should be either expanded or blended in with other sections. -- Underneath-it-All 17:43, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- The reason the article is a little scant on inline citations is because it is mainly a translation of the German article. Apparently the German Wikipedia uses inline citations mainly for quotations. I have requested most of the missing inline citations from the German author, so those should be added soon.
- I've upped the number of citations to 27, and still have a few more coming (I'll have to root through species descriptions for these). --NoahElhardt 20:30, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
- Any suggestions on how to blend the smaller paragraphs into others? It is hard, for example, to blend a section on "Roots" with a section on "Flowers". I agree with you in theory, but am having trouble applying the theory in this case. Thanks --NoahElhardt 21:39, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- The reproduction and flower sections could be merged for a start since they are totally linked.--Peta 07:29, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- I'll see what I can do, although those two sections, while related, are different types of sections. In an article about humans, one wouldn't merge a section on "Mouth" with a section on "Language", even though they are "totally linked". --NoahElhardt 15:48, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

- Object - needs expansion - --GoOdCoNtEnT 06:46, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
- What sections, subject matters do you think could use expansion? In other words, what kind of information is missing that you would like to see added? --NoahElhardt 15:48, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
