Help on editing article
Hi guys! I’m a uni student working on this article for an assignment, could anyone have a look over it in the next couple of days? Thank you! TheRealDinosaur222 (talk) 10:05, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

flat perennial herb
What does "flat" mean in the context? - my initial hypothesis was prostrate, but that doesn't fit with the epithet, nor with the height range given. Lavateraguy (talk) 08:56, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

round or toothed
Round and toothed are not usually alternatives. I would expect round to apply to the overall shape of the leaf, though it is a relatively unspecific term, while toothed refers to the nature of the margin. Lavateraguy (talk) 09:03, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

F.Muell. ex Benth.
The typical interpretation of this is that a description of the species by Ferdinand Mueller was published in a work written/compiled by George Bentham. The citation given in Bentham's work is F.Muell. Herb., which I would take as an indication that the name and description were associated with the plant in Mueller's herbarium.

 * Hi! Thank you so much for editing this article and giving some extra feedback. I've made some changes that you suggested, I changed "flat" to "erect" in the opening sentence, when I wrote "flat" i was referring to the leaves not the entire plant but I didn't make that clear so thank you for pointing that out. I also changed "rounded and toothed" to just "round"; here I was referring to the leaf margins but only wrote in leaves, so again that was unclear. I also changed the last sentence of the taxonomy; I interpreted the original source wrong. Overall, thank you for the edits and suggestions! TheRealDinosaur222 (talk) 09:28, 26 May 2021 (UTC)
