Talk:Socratea exorrhiza

We should have a new category for this and the venus fly trap
This plant is awesome, it 'walks'. We should have a category for this and the Venus Fly Trap and other plants which have the ability to move in a unique way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Klichka (talk • contribs) 13:58, 3 July 2007

This plant does *not* move.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.74.120.224 (talk) 03:55, 28 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Just to note, an old version of the article did state that the tree could "walk" to lighter areas of the forest but this appears to have been WP:MADEUP as I couldn't find any sources to back it up. Smartse (talk) 13:42, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

I cut the sentence

In a forthcoming paper awaiting publication in Nature, Snow and Raines 2010 proved finally that the trees do not in fact walk, based on hours of observational research and comparative studies of thousands of trees.

As a followup, "Snow and Raines" sound somewhat contrived. A Google search for this pair did not return any related to the sciences. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gpronger (talk • contribs) 00:44, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
