Option 1

 * Astragalus microcymbus
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article is so short there isn't a separate lead section from the rest of the content.
 * The content section introduces the appearance of the plant, the origins of it's common name, it's locality and the habitat in which it is found, that it is threatened by rabbit herbivory and that it is monitored by the Denver Botanical Gardens. The article is not broken up into sections because there is so little information, but it could be because there is more known on these topics. Some possible areas that information can be added are the listing history under the Endangered Species Act, insights into population demographics that have been gained by DBG's research, threats facing this species, and other information known as well as knowledge gaps about it's about it's biology.
 * The article maintains a neutral point of view.
 * There are not very many sources used in this article and I believe they are only from websites. There is at least one publication by the scientists at Denver Botanical Gardens that could be used.
 * There is an image of the plant in bloom, which is relevant and informative.
 * There is only one entry on the Talk Page. This article is a part of the WikiProject Plants. It is categorized as a stub article and of low importance in this project.
 * My overall impression of this article is that it could have more detail added, especially in the areas discussed about in my content evaluation. There isn't a lot known about this plant, and not a lot published but there is a little more, especially form DBG's research.
