Rubus durescens

 * ALT2: ... that the botanist Reverend Linton didn't gild the lily, but he did discover a bramble, Rubus durescens and then gilded its image on the cover of his book, The Flora of Derbyshire? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Parkywiki (talk • contribs) 23:55, 10 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Symbol confirmed.svg This article was moved to mainspace on October 9, the text is over 1500 characters, and it is within policy. The image here is licensed via CC, and QPQ is satisfied. The suggested hooks are under 200 characters and supported by inline citations (I am not an expert in botany, and I am assuming that the flower is a "rose by another name" because it was identified as being within the genus Rubus, a fact that is substantiated by inline citations). Although the illustration is lovely, I like the poetic and catchy cadence of ALT1, and I think ALT2 is also very clever. Excellent work with hook-writing for this nomination!

 * I'm not a fan of the "gild the lily" in ALT2. Things which aren't sourced in the article shouldn't appear in a hook simply in an attempt at cleverness. I would recommend against ALT2. M AN d ARAX  •  XAЯA b ИA M  07:07, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
