Talk:Canadian Fleabane

Canadian Fleabane merge to Horseweed

 * Sorry but you are too quick off the mark. Connyza canadensis is not Connyza equisiteum although they are similar and sometimes confused. Both have been called Horseweed. I was trying to draw attention to the difference. ping 07:49, 13 October 2005 (UTC)


 * Sorry ping, but you're over my head on that. Better to sort it out on the article's talk page.PooterCobb 08:01, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I'm no botanist, but it seems like "Horseweed" is used for several of the "Conyza" Genus: Canadian Fleabane is Conyza canadensis, others also called "Horseweed" are Conyza bonariensis, Conyza equisiteum, "Conyza ramosissima".


 * There seem to be many common names for species in this genus: "Canadian horseweed", "Hogweed", "Dwarf Horseweed", "branching conyza"


 * See the ITIS (Integrated Taxonomic Information System) site


 * Thus it does seem appropriate to merge to the Horseweed article.

I've made it a redirect to Conyza canadensis, with Horseweed being a redirect to the genus page Conyza - MPF 22:57, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
