Hi
SL93, good work finding this article by a new user. Generally a good article but I note that the first paragraph of the "Description" section is missing a citation; the lead could also do with expanding above one sentence -

Dumelow I sourced the section and expanded the lead.

I will point out, just in case, that the sentence about its Greek and Latin meaning is sourced to the SW Field Guide tab on the reference.

Thanks
SL93, I reworded the lead a little and added a few links in the article to clarify botanical terms. Article was created 20 October and exceeds minimum length; it is cited inline throughout to what look to be reliable sources; I didn't pick up any overly close paraphrasing in a spot check on the sources; hook is interesting and mentioned in the article, AGF on offline sourcing; a QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me -
