Option 1

 * Achillea millefolium:
 * The article is sectioned well, having everything from the chemistry of the plant to its cultivation and cultural importance. There is a good description of the plant, however some of the sentences are slightly repetitive ("The leaves are... The leaves are... The leaves are..."). Description of the disk flowers lacks a unit ("The tiny disk flowers range from 10 to 40."). Some grammatical minor errors. :

Option 2

 * Lupinus:
 * The article was fairly well written, with only a few grammatical errors or adjustments needed. There were two places where citations were needed, but other than those most of the citations worked and were reliable sources. There were a couple of citations that either, there was no longer access to them or they didn't exist anymore. The writer(s) took on a very passive voice, not showing bias and offered quite a few images throughout the piece. They also presented adequate information about the plant, including where it originates, its uses, and its cultural significance.:

Option 3

 * Pollination management:
 * Article Evaluation:Sentence structure adjustments recommended, first sentence is a paragraph long. Citation/evidence for the inefficiency of honeybees needed. Many sentences diverge so many times, its easy to lose track of the point. No mention of other types of pollinators (butterflies/moths, hummingbirds, insects...)

Option 4

 * Rubus armeniacus:
 * Article Evaluation:Very well written. The sections were short but provided large amounts of information in each one. Possibly could add a couple more sections (uses, culture, original habitat,...) to give a more complete description. Seems slightly biased towards it being invasive.
