 * Symbol voting keep.svg, with a slight preference for the ALT. Solid facts on few but good sources, no copyvio obvious. Please add a ref for the family. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 13:41, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I don't get what's interesting about "a tree with timber so durable that it is used in heavy construction work". Lots of trees give timber used in heavy construction. EEng 20:36, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
 * What is interesting is that it is the only(?) tree in the morning glory family, other members of which are twining plants with showy flowers. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:39, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
 * You could word it the other way round then, to have morning glory at the end, - as was done for the Alfred Vökt hook. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:00, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Like ALT1 you mean? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:45, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, - even preferred ;) - I am a bit blind due to sadness about User talk:WJBscribe --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:49, 26 June 2019 (UTC) |}}
