implied absence over chalk
In the Description (not the Ecology) section the article implies absence over chalk: "This may explain the absence of H. non-scripta from thin soils over chalk in South East England, since the bulbs are unable to penetrate into sufficiently deep soils" I regard this as seriously misleading, as bluebells are common on the chalk hills of England, particularly in ancient woodland, and unlikely to all be over drift deposits. The cited text is a book, not available for immediate inspection, so I am amending the text slightly pending further research. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.3.255.103 (talk) 07:59, 1 May 2017 (UTC)

British Isles, Britain and Ireland
@User:84.170.77.12 You have it exactly backwards. British Isles is the inclusive geographical term. Both Britain and Ireland are ambiguous overlapping political definitions and require disambiguation. Plant surfer 19:47, 1 July 2023 (UTC)


 * I do not have it exactly backwards. “Great Britain” and “Ireland” are geographical references to two islands. “British Isles” is a political term. The last paragraph of the introduction on the page for the term “British Isles,” which you linked, explicitly recognises this fact: “In Ireland, the term “British Isles” is controversial, and there are objections to its usage. The Government of Ireland does not officially recognise the term, and its embassy in London discourages its use. “Britain and Ireland” is used as an alternative description, and “Atlantic Archipelago” has also seen limited use in academia.” 87.154.212.63 (talk) 14:30, 6 July 2023 (UTC)
