Nominate subtaxa
Typically nominate subspecies are covered in the species article. Also, it is the best practice that all other subtaxa are covered in the species article unless that article becomes very long. "Very long" is defined at Article size as over 10,000 words. Abductive (reasoning) 02:02, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah I think even with the 5 subspecies it wont excede 10,000 words so perhaps you are right. I would still like to have the information on the species article so do I just have a section for each under "subspecies?" Beeveria (talk) 08:39, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Thanks for understanding. I found a couple of example Featured Articles, Banksia ericifolia and Grevillea juniperina, that follow the WP:WikiProject Plants/Template (and obviously passed muster as Featured Articles) that show how to lay out the subtaxa section. They even differ slightly.  Abductive  (reasoning) 14:21, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

Dracophyllum
I was curious about the comment on paraphyly in the Dracophyllum_arboreum. I removed it as it didn't seem to belong and wasn't explained. I now see it is because Dracophylium minimum belongs to the subgenus. Given the paper was 2010, I would hope some sort of taxonomic reassessment has taken place, with some new genera or some major lumping. I put together this cladogram, which I started as a possible addition for D. arborerum article to show the position in the tribe, but it seems more complicated. So I'll leave the cladogram here in case it has any use. —  Jts1882 &#124; talk 09:09, 18 May 2021 (UTC)


 * I was wondering the same thing and might have a deeper look tomorrow because they even mentioned in the article that "the taxonomic circumscription of these genera needs revision." Thanks for the cladogram - may be useful given the complexity of the tribe. I have added a slightly bigger cladogram in the article now which shows all the New Zealand species - thoughts? Beeveria (talk) 09:23, 18 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I can't beleive I missed this - S. Venter made a taxonomic revision in march! Haven't read it yet but once I do I'll be adding this info in. :) https://doi.org/10.1071/SB19049_CO  Draco phyllum  06:21, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Request for peer review help
Hi Beeveria. I hope you are doing well and staying safe during these times! Apologize to bother and posting a random request. I have just started to work on a stub (Fontainea Venosa)and had added some sections. I am trying my best to get the article to B class hopefully. Knowing your expertise, I would love if you can help me to review and left a comment on what I can do to improve my edits. I hope that this is okay, but no pressure if you are busy. That is completely fine and understandable :) Hope to hear from you soon. The article is Fontainea Venosa

Thank you so much :) Sparklingkull (talk) 01:44, 24 May 2021 (UTC)

"Sea of blue"
O=kay...take a look at Banksia serrata...if you scroll down to Banksia_serrata you'll see a big list of critters that feed on it. If I hadn't listed both common and scientific names there'd just be a whole list of bluelinks separated by commas. Looks a bit better if not like that.

 * Thanks  Draco phyllum  00:18, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Thank you today for the article, "about an obscure tree from New Zealand's South Island. It was first described in 1928 by the New Zealand botanist Walter Oliver. Genetic analysis more recently has revealed, though quite obviously morphologically speaking, that is is related to Dracophyllum traversii and Dracophyllum menziesii. Good work by botanists recently, a monograph from earlier this year for example, has made sourcing these Dracophyllum articles quite easy."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:33, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

Tree of Life newsletter?
I am going through all of the newsletters to assess their activity, and I am a little confused by this one. You seem to have edited Issue 016 in November, but it says on the newsletter page that issue 016 was from August 2020. Also, I don't see any entries in the MassMessage log for a 2021 issue -- was there actually a September 2021 issue? And, if so, where can I find it? jp×g 03:54, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

Discussion about navboxes on Plants project talk page
Hi, DP, I know you're on a Wikibreak, but I thought I'd leave this here anyway. There is a discussion on the Plants project talk page about the value (or lack thereof) of navboxes for taxa.

Hi there, you're receiving this note because you're currently signed up for the 2022 WikiCup and don't yet have any points in the competition. As you may know, scoring any points in the first round is traditionally sufficient to advance to the second, and a fast way to get 5 points is to complete a good article review. Given that the January 2022 Good Article Nomination Backlog Drive is active for another 10 days, you might be interested in pitching in. Complete one review, and you'll be on to the next round in WikiCup; complete two or three, and you'll also be eligible to win some barnstars. As always, quality reviews with attention to detail are expected. Cheers, --Usernameunique (talk) 19:40, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
