Euphorbia marginata

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
My main interest is plants, especially woody plants like trees and shrubs. Euphorbia marginata is an interesting plant with very little information given on its Wikipedia page.

Evaluate the article
The lead section is just a few sentences giving common names, family, range, and a line about its type specimen. It doesn't say much at all about the actual plant itself and the ecological role it plays.

The article has a neutral tone, but relies too much on common names. Sources are current, but relies on only a few sources. Sentences are a bit wordy and not very concise. There are a couple of sentences with interesting information, but none of it is ever expanded upon. There is no information about its environment or ecological role, historical uses of the plant, or relatives.

The page has never been edited since its creation. Images are decent.

The article is a stub and listed as mid-importance. More than anything, it is just lacking in information.
