I think these kinds of plant based articles are very useful;this kind of information is often difficult to find (sometimes in Botanical Society proceedings that are not currently available electronically). Some things that would help this article, 1., a review of the botany. 2.An historical summary of some of the work done in the US earlier with Thad Howard's work documented. A contribution from John Fellers himself would be valuable. The link to Fadjar Marta's web site is helpful, but some information directly from him would be wonderful. Also the work being done in Australia would be useful. Mr. Jim Frechette has very valuable information for contribution. It would be a shame not to record some of this information. 3. This article could flesh out the biochemical/biomedical uses of the genus. Some of these are old 1950's and some very recent. 4. Taxonomy is always a problem since it changes, but clarification is always good. 5. This article should link to Habranthus and Haylockia (both are related-may have breeding potential 6. the pacific bulb society has been linked, there are other useful photos.Planttc 16:40, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
