Talk:Rhododendron groenlandicum

Wrong picture warning
Careful with Pictures

I removed the picture on the bottom of this article. That picture, of the plant with the pink flowers, was a photo of bog laurel which is extremely toxic. PLEASE be careful when posting pictures of plants that are used medicinally and/or as food. Mistakes like that could cause a great deal of harm. Anungoliant (talk) 19:05, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Removal of wrong distribution
Currently the chapter concerning the plant's distribution says: "It is found growing in northern latitudes around the world. In Europe, it occurs south to the Alps". This is wrong with R. groenlandicum, which is apparently absent from Europe and Asia, thus i am going to remove the sentences.

Removing unsourced claim
I am going to remove this sentence, which has been flagged citation needed since 2014: "It is often used as a spice in dishes containing wild game. It is also used as flavoring in distilled spirits." Vox Sciurorum (talk) 17:31, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

ATTENTION Ledum groenlandicum versus Rhododendron canadense
The plant described is

 * Rhododendron canadense is an other plant

 * No, according to POWO (the primary source we use for the accepted names) ledum is a synonym source, also per ITIS and WFO etc KylieTastic (talk) 19:11, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Also yes it is not Rhododendron canadense nor is anyone saying it is as far as I can see? KylieTastic (talk) 19:12, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
