 * New article at 1996 bytes.
 * Neutral.
 * Cited inline, refs seem up to snuff.
 * QPQ met.


 * Hook is short and sufficiently interesting.
 * Image is appropriately licensed.


 * Issues:
 * Three refs are bare urls, that should be fixed.
 * formatted those three now. Casliber (talk · contribs) 03:56, 23 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Suggestions:
 * It's a bit hard to see the grass in the image at dyk resolution.
 * agree. Might have a play with it later. Casliber (talk · contribs) 03:58, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I will check for close paraphrasing and that refs and material match tomorrow. Chris857 (talk) 02:58, 23 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Assuming good faith on offline sources, article checks for copyvio and references matching the article. My only remaining question is - which source indicates that "The flowering panicles are open and feathery at maturity"? Chris857 (talk) 17:36, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
 * I suspect it comes from ref #1 - Les Robinson - Field Guide to the Native Plants of Sydney - which I do not have, and was added by Casliber (talk · contribs) 04:28, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg I think I can let that one slide as the picture shows them as what I would describe as feathery. So this passes. Chris857 (talk) 17:55, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
