Mertensia (Gleicheniaceae)
A disambiguation page needs to be created acknowledging the (presumably now noncurrent) fern genus Mertensia as included in the family Gleicheniaceae (e.g., see http://www.ipni.org/ipni/simplePlantNameSearch.do?find_wholeName=Mertensia&output_format=normal&query_type=by_query&back_page=query_ipni.html). philiptdotcom (talk) 03:31, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Mertensia and Pseudomertensia
I deleted Mertensia echioides from the species list and i moved the taxobox image to the taxobox at Pseudomertensia, because this species is nowadays usually placed in Pseudomertensia. Let's use an image of a species whose placement in Mertensia is not controversial. Since i dont know much about working with images at Wikipedia, i will leave that choice to someone else.

Images
Someone requested an image, and I added Mertensia virginica to the taxobox, because it's the type species, and put other good pictures in the Species section. — Eru·tuon 04:15, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Edits
There really wasn't an edit conflict as I was fixing up sections that had been added and you were adding new sections. I fixed some spelling errors, fixed links that went to disambiguation pages or to unrelated articles. I also changed dm to cm as I think readers are more likely to be familiar with centimetres than decimetres. I also reduced the number of links to common words. There really isn't a need to link various colours for example. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 20:46, 24 August 2015 (UTC)

Edit conflict
An edit conflict is what happens when 2 people try to edit a page at the same time. I did indeed get an edit conflict message and was not able to save my edit. Common sense tells you that editing a page that has a construction template is likely to result in an edit conflict. 76.93.209.228 (talk) 07:49, 25 August 2015 (UTC)

No description
I did not write a description of Mertensia because i could not find one that i felt was adequate. The older ones all included Pseudomertensia as part of Mertensia. Some lacked sufficient detail and others came from sources that i considered to be untrustworthy or too obscure to cite. Whenever Boraginaceae is finally covered in The Families and Genera of Vascular Plants, there will be a good description there, and it will be comparable to the descriptions of all the other genera. 76.93.209.228 (talk) 04:58, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
