This Wikipedia article covers a lot of material for Dicerandra. It is objective and well rounded. The author describes the species in this genus, where they occur, their history, ecology, and research on this group. The author uses many references to back up statements. This will be fantastic to add to the current and very sparse page for this group. Overall this was extremely well written. The only material I thought might be useful to add is why this group relies on habitat disturbance and is commonly found in disturbed areas (IMPORTANT). I'm not sure if there are studies on this, but if so it would be great to have it included in the article.

Additionally, in the biological research section it was mentioned that the perennials of this group receive a lot of attention because of conservation concerns. It would be good to include a section about conservation issues with this group. Why is conservation for this group important and what research is going into conservation? This will help generate more interest for this group.

The only other minor change that should be made is to add citations using the Wiki format so that all citations are shown at the bottom of the page and linked so that readers have easy access to sources.

Feedback from Emily
You improved this page a ton! Nice work. Thankfully it looks like other users have mostly left your additions alone :) One further change I would recommend is a bit of reorganizing of the top two paragraphs; both mention the size of the ranges of annuals vs. perennials, so the second paragraph down is more or less a repeat or rehash of the first paragraph. I think you could combine them, and in the second paragraph focus on some other aspect of their biology. Perhaps mention what studies have been done on them? Of course you can't talk about work in progress, since there's no reference to cite and thus that wouldn't be allowed on Wikipedia, but have there been any studies at all on phylogenetics, even just placing the genus in Lamiaceae, that you could cite? This is my only really substantive suggestion, to try and give a feeling for what work has been done on the group and cite those papers if they exist. Emilysessa (talk) 13:50, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
