Talk:Acmella oleracea

Edit notes
I added a lot to the properties and included references. I deleted what was there regarding several of its properties because they conflict with what is reported in the primary literature. If those claims have citations to back them up, please correct me.Nubinski 00:30, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Planting information
This needs information on planting, such as which soil type and rather it prefers starting inside or directly outside in most climates. Also, how much moisture to keep it at/watering cycle, as well as the amount of sunlight. I'm looking these up right now, for the next person. The advice should apply to all similar varieties in that family, but I'll only post it here. 2601:1:9280:155:4596:AD78:18EA:60FA (talk) 23:46, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
 * More info:  The USDA has a downloadable fact sheet which states that it's pretty much like growing any common lawn/ornamental grass.  Surface sowing, etc.  In the USA, this plant seems to be the most common in the SE.  In Australia, this is considered a weed (like most non-native plants).  It is however, cultivated, according to the same author as mentioned in the compendium.2601:1:9280:155:E4AA:6035:84B7:110E (talk) 02:53, 30 March 2014 (UTC)

Common name Electric Daisy
I added the common name Electric Daisy which what this plant is known as in Britain. However, I do not have a robust reference for this term, i.e. something like a serious botanical text. I could link to the Sutton's Seeds website where I located the latin name but I'm reluctant to do that in case their site gets reorganised.



I would appreciate it if anyone could add a better reference for this term. Regards KreyszigB (talk) 12:58, 11 July 2015 (UTC)

Well blow me down, if my sister didn't supply me with the reference when she mailed me up the flower heads!

Please Consider Revising
I think this article could be served well by some further editing. Specifically, why does the name "spilanthes" pop up out of nowhere in regards to this plant? Then the name "jambu"? What do those terms mean, what are they referencing? Then, why does the chart under the medicinal header list species names that match nothing else on the page? ( No A. oleracea anywhere, but something called S. calva? What? And if there are multiple kinds of toothache plant, shouldn't they be listed somewhere in the article like I see on other plants' pages?) Also, the final sentence under the header "Jambu Oil" is very strangely worded, since none of those terms have been properly defined at any point, and since spilanthes seems to be being used differently there all of a sudden.

Overall if someone could just please look this over for clarity I think it would really help. Clearly a few big pieces of information are missing here making it a pretty frustrating entry.

Thanks for looking!
