Talk:Proteales

Does anyone know what is unique about Poteales?


 * That will depend on the circumscription of the order. Brya 19:06, 16 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Using the APG 2 circumscription of the Proteales, a few common features of the order are having 1-2 ovules per carpel, having a large embryo and having nuclear endosperm development (in which the nuclei of the endosperm multiply for awhile before any cell walls form between them). Admittedly these are all a little obscure. Justinleif 04:55, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

The representatives of the Proteales are very different from each other. The order contains plants that do not look alike at all.
My section title is a quote from the lead. It seems to me to say exactly the same thing twice, first in a slight nerdy way, then in a slightly childish one. Perhaps we should say it just once, in an accessible but encyclopaedic way? Not sure haw, though. Or:

But I'm no great fan of my own suggestion here.--Nø (talk) 14:44, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
