Darwin didn't see this orchid during the voyage of the Beagle but many years later. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Polinizador (talk • contribs) 16:49, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

I addressed many of the concerns previously with regards to improving the citations in the article. The concern about the article having a gallery however I think was unwarranted. Plant articles oftentimes need many pictures in order to illustrate clearly the subject matter and they often times can't be fit into the article. For this reason I think its fine for many plant articles to include a gallery. I did remove the gallery in this case however since I was able to fit those pictures into the bulk of the article. These pictures are extremely important since they illustrate what the flowers and buds look like.Chhe (talk) 01:08, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Not sure....
I was about to do it myself; but, I see other, more experienced copy-editors in this subject area haven't, so I thought I'd ask first. Shouldn't the alternate names in the lead, as per Wikipedia convention/policy, be bold? I'll do it for now, but if there's some reason for it to be otherwise, it's fine to revert. Just leave a note saying why! ;)

 * PS I created the other pages as redirects (What links here), and added it to the appropriate disambiguation pages (Star of Bethlehem (disambiguation)), and hatnoted it where necessary (Ornithogalum).

The Fowlie article seems to be a fairy tale made up of whole cloth. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jarditti (talk • contribs) 01:53, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm assuming your referring to Fowlie's claim in the Orchid Digest article that the discoverer of the moth was a missionary. Yes, I don't know what sources he used to come to this conclusion either. All other articles on this orchid that I have found cite Lionel Walter Rothschild and Karl Jordan as the moth's discoverers. I've been looking over my back issue of Orchid Digest with this article and he doesn't list any references at the end of the article so its difficult to know if he had any insider information or not. Its clear he couldn't be referring to Ellis though since he names him by name in several places in the article yet says a missionary discovered the moth in the fifth paragraph. On the other hand he does mention some hard to find information on the blooming time of angraecum sesquipedale that can only be found in Thouars long winded french book. So he does appear to be doing his research. So I don't know if Fowlie is right or not about the moth's original discoverer.Chhe (talk) 02:55, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
