Wikification
This article has been wikified to death. Anyone have any intention of filling in all these redlinks? Good luck. Peter1968 (talk) 09:53, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Many of the genus names are redlinked because of the difficulty of writing about genera in this family. I think that much of the confusion and disagreement will be cleared up in the next few years by DNA studies. In the meantime, there is not much that we can do about it. Given the different definitions of many of the genera, any statement about genera in this family should be carefully checked.


 * As for the other red links, i will see what i can do about them. 98.150.181.36 (talk) 22:38, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Author Names
I believe that author abbreviations are an example of overcorrectness. They save little space and add nothing to the content, but create an intimidating appearance that is unnecessary except perhaps to the egos of some of the editors. Wikipedia is not a technical publication and should appeal to as wide an audience as possible. I cite A Tropical Garden Flora as a book that is technically excellent, but has replaced author abbreviations with names. I know that this has to be done carefully to avoid ambiguity. One should always check the International Plant Names Index, or Brummitt and Powell's Authors of Plant Names, or a special compilation like the one for ferns by Rodolfo Pichi-Sermolli. 98.150.181.36 (talk) 23:07, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Deleted information
The section entitled "Distribution" was a miscellaneous collection of insignificant, unsourced information, so i deleted it. In the leader, i made 2 statements about coverage in major floras. This could be a starting point for a section on details of distribution if somebody wants to write it. 98.150.181.36 (talk) 07:53, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Where's Catalpa?
This huge article never once mentions the genus Catalpa (except in phylogeny tree) or the huge ornamental trees therein. Quite a glaring oversight. Nickrz (talk) 23:20, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Paragonia
The link to [Paragonia] is currently redirecting to Mesnilius which is a species of fly (not a plant). Not sure what the right thing to do is. Mcsmom (talk) 19:04, 12 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Ah. More work is needed, but for now that one and a few others have some basic fixes. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 18:05, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Lianas: Phloem arms extend downward into the xylem
How do the phloem arms function in the upper sections of Lianas? Does the phloem transport water upwards? Thanks Moadeeb (talk) 13:32, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
