5x expanded by Epicgenius (talk) and Kew Gardens 613 (talk). Nominated by Epicgenius (talk) at 20:57, 22 September 2016 (UTC).

article is new enough, long enough in terms of expansion, neutral, with appropriate sources and free of paraphrase issues per Earwig and my review. The hooks are within length and properly sourced. Epicgenius, QPQ is pending, which is the one obstacle to approval. Alansohn (talk) 03:17, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

@Alansohn: Thanks for the really quick review. I will do a QPQ within the next few days. epicgenius (talk) 03:18, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
