More key source(s)
I see you folks are doing more great editing work here. I’d add the following recent scientific paper reference source (fully cited below, please copy), and i may follow up here with some more.: —--Macropneuma 02:38, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that!--Melburnian (talk) 02:59, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah, just getting my head around it all....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 11:52, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Does anyone have access to the two papers by Stace & Fripp cited here that they could email to me?--Melburnian (talk) 13:16, 1 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Crap - missed this. I can do this - send me an email and I can reply to it. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 01:42, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Got it, thanks for that.--Melburnian (talk) 13:09, 3 June 2014 (UTC)

You folks going well as usual …. I’d like to see youse get a photo of natural 2–3 years post–fire mass regeneration springtime flowering, like this fine photo from post–Ash Wednesday, Anglesea Victoria, by late, great, naturalist Mary D. White (of Anglesea) on her book cover. Then more so than at present in the article body prose text, relate this vegetation ecology and amazing regeneration and flowering response of Epacris impressa. I can give many scientific papers references, including the set of vegetation regeneration seminal studies from Anglesea by Mary D. White and Margaret Wark/MacDonald, published in the Proceedings of the Royal Society of Victoria (freely available here via the State Library of Victoria website), but there’s so many more vegetation ecology and survey scientific papers from across this species distribution throughout southeastern Australia that i’m not sure yet where best to get you to start reading and citing them as a whole body of literature … .--Macropneuma 07:07, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Summary article on the Anglesea ANGAIR post–fire vegetation regeneration scientific and popular survey, in the natural history journal The Victorian Naturalist, including referencing of the scholarly science papers they published and how they achieved so much seminal scientific vegetation survey work (no mention of Epacris impressa in this summary article, the species survey results are in those scientific papers well referenced within this): —--Macropneuma 08:06, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Have looked at the 1996 Wark paper on regeneration of woodland and heath at anglesea - mentions E. impressa but nothing I can really add. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:08, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
 * With Epacris impressa the topic, i’d prefer to check the first three years post–1983–fire survey, published in 1987, digitised here …, not sure if there’s enough material written in that to use for adding—busy busy, running late here, not possible for me to read through it, just now. —--Macropneuma 12:47, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Yeah found that one - a bit I can add...aaaand added. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 13:53, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

What to do now
I will try and get to library and look in FoA on thursday - surely there must be a better description of seed pods, seed and seedlings....? Anything else? Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 14:07, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, that would be good, the only other thing that springs to mind right now is a range map.--Melburnian (talk) 02:37, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Will do that tonight. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 03:14, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks.--Melburnian (talk) 07:22, 11 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Damn - didn't get to library today :( Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 06:36, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, I've been farting around on this article for eight years, so you won't get any criticism from me :-P--Melburnian (talk) 06:59, 12 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I see that Flora of Australia, Volume 9: Ericales has not been published yet.--Melburnian (talk) 04:25, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Crap. No point looking for it then. I will adapt a map from one of the ANBG ones online then. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 15:13, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the map. I think the ANBG map in their "Floral Emblems of Australia" (1985) article is a bit out of date. Their "Growing Native Plants" article has a map that shows "Distribution from AVH 2013" that clicks through to the AVH map. I think the main differences that need to be shown is the presence on Kangaroo Island (see also ) and distribution throughout Tasmania including the Bass Strait islands. The only thing to watch with some individual AVH records (dots on the map) are occasional ones from cultivation (eg Botanic Gardens), those with uncertain or dubious ID, and those with incorrect coordinates.--Melburnian (talk) 00:20, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
 * aaah ok will fix soon. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 01:31, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Looking good, thanks.--Melburnian (talk) 08:00, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

"Heathy woodland"
Sorry if I'm missing nuance here, but... isn't it obvious/redundant to note that heath grows in heathy woodland? Brutannica (talk) 16:11, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
 * hadn't thought of that..."heath" refers to heathland as well as many types of small plant. The adjective here means like the heathland...Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:17, 4 August 2016 (UTC)

Symbolism is a misnomer
Section 6: Symbolism is mis-titled. There is no description about what the plant or flower symbolize, only an explanation of how and why it was chosen for the coat of arms. I suggest that either the section be re-titled to something more fitting (perhaps 'Significance'?), or the symbolism behind the plant/flower be added to the section. Louie.dw (talk) 09:20, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Ok, fair point - I have renamed the section Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 12:12, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
