I've quoted heavily from Hooker, since his words have passed into the public domain, and he gives a compelling description. With time, I suppose most of it should be rephrased into a more encyclopedic tone, preserving a sentence here and there as a short quotation. Melchoir 22:04, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Never mind, I've got it. Melchoir 09:31, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] original photo

can anyone please put an original photo of the plant...sketch is not sufficient here —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.188.98.139 (talk • contribs) 11:04, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I agree, that would be great. I've listed this at Wikipedia:Requested pictures#Plants. Melchoir 06:42, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

William Baker has given permission for use of his photograph on wikipedia. [1] (tyger 14:51, 19 June 2006 (UTC))

Thanks! But... it looks like Baker hasn't released the image under a free license, and we really shouldn't be using {{permission}}. I don't suppose you could ask him to mark the original as GFDL or similar? Melchoir 15:13, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm new to this...so just bare with me :). What do you mean by mark the original as GFDL? He just simply said, "ok" to use the photograph on wiki. I posted the last email i got from him under the summary of the photograph.(tyger 16:31, 19 June 2006 (UTC))

Well, I can point you to Wikipedia:Boilerplate request for permission, which probably explains the issue better than I could. Melchoir 17:01, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Sent an email for GFDL. Waiting for response now. (tyger 18:39, 19 June 2006 (UTC))

Awesome. Melchoir 18:45, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Got it. Photo is under GFDL now. (tyger 01:28, 20 June 2006 (UTC))

Perfect! You might want to be more explicit about that on the image description page, just for paranoia, but I'm not going to complain. Thanks again! Melchoir 01:41, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
