Neem tree
The update may catch it but we happened to notice that the Neem tree is missing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Azadirachta_indica Fholson 17:34, 4 March 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fholson (talk • contribs)

Merge with List of tree genera
I'm not sure, so asking before template-tagging, but are there any concerns or support for merging this list with List of tree genera, which afaict covers the same territory. (with slight differences that it would be best to fix). Thanks. -- Quiddity (talk) 21:45, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

By native region
Can a version of this page be made that lists the tree's by their indigiouns regions? 96.10.190.211 (talk) 22:14, 20 November 2012 (UTC)

Myrsina
Myrsina here links to an article about Greek mythology. As I am no tree expert, I leave it to someone with more knowledge to decide what to do. LaMona (talk) 19:43, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Good catch. Myrsine is the plant. Fixed. Sminthopsis84 (talk) 11:24, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

Capitalization fixes
I've begun editing this list to make it conform to Wikipedia's style for species names (MOS:LIFE) and as I've done so, I've also been putting section headings in sentence case following the Manual of Style (MOS:HEADINGS). If anyone sees any mistakes I make please alert me here or fix them yourself. This will take a while so please be patient with the mix of styles which will exist for a couple of days at least. Thank you. SchreiberBike &#124; ⌨  05:47, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

Formatting changes
As I've been staring at this list a lot, it seems to me that it could benefit from some formatting changes. I've put a draft of the first two families in my userspace at https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:SchreiberBike/Workspace/Scratchpad&oldid=685422712. I've added a horizontal rule beneath each family and changed the genera and species from all being in line to bullets. This seems more readable to me and saves a few bytes as it substitutes a  or   for lots of  s. It also makes sense to me to get rid of "the" before each family. If there's no objection, I'll make those changes. SchreiberBike &#124; ⌨  19:49, 12 October 2015 (UTC)
