Epithet corrections – a bit more
Hi, I noticed that you wrote that the ae forms were "archaic". I don't think this is quite the right word. Earlier botanists formed epithets by using the genitive of the name of a different plant + a noun for the part of the plant. Thus oleaefolium = "of-Olea leaf" = "leaf of Olea". The alternative was to join the two nouns by a "compounding letter", either -i- or -o-, thus oleifolium = "Olea-leaf". The botanical community decided to standardize on the latter, because (as far as I know) this was more classical, and in that sense more archaic. Peter coxhead (talk) 19:43, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
- @Peter coxhead: I understand what you are saying, and thanks for the further explanation. Changing the statement to make it correct and keeping it simple however is too difficult for me. Perhaps you can give it a go. Thanks, Dwergenpaartje (talk) 20:19, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

Fractions, units
Hello! Thanks for creating Felicia fruticosa. I wanted to point you to these edits I made to it, as well as Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers § Fractions and Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers § Unit conversions. It's generally against Wikipedia style guidelines to display fractions using special characters such as ½. If a number needs to be displayed as a fraction, the notation {{frac|numerator|denominator}} is preferred—so {{frac|1|2}} to produce 1⁄2. This makes Wikipedia more accessible for users using screen readers, as well as those with certain sight disabilities. Additionally, rather than manually converting units, the use of {{convert}} is generally preferred, as it is a more versatile template, and will keep units at the same level of precision. The documentation over at {{convert}} showcases the many uses for the template. Let me know if you have any questions! cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 17:53, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
- Ah, yes. Thank you for teaching me new technicalities on fractions. I am using fractions on purpose though. This has to do with the fact that often a digit suggest too much precision, you know, 6.5 actually means anything between 6.45 and 6.55 while 6½ means anything between 6.25 and 6.75. Also, in the automated conversions, additional digits are created, suggesting false precision and that is the reason why I prefer manual conversions. Dwergenpaartje (talk) 20:54, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Κέφαλος
Beste Dwergenpaartje, you have added the following etymological information to Cephalopyge trematoides: "(Greek: Κέφαλος Kephalos, "head")". But Κέφαλος is actual the name of a Greek mythological figure, whereas written with a lower-case kappa, it is the name of a species of mullet. In ancient Greek κεφαλή is actually the word for head. Is your source mistaken or did you misinterpreted the source? With kind regards, Wimpus (talk) 11:52, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

September 2019: Leucospermum hypophyllocarpodendron
I am having difficulty understanding a term introduced by you to the above article in March of 2018 in this edit. The term, with which I am unfamiliar, is "cringy", which appears several times in the article to describe fine hairs appearing on the new leaves. It apparently is an adjective. Would you be able to clarify for me and other readers what the meaning of that term, as you have used it in the article, might be? Thank you.--Quisqualis (talk) 03:35, 14 September 2019 (UTC)
- @Quisqualis: Thank you for pointing out this is an odd word. "Cringing" is basically synonymous with "recoiling", but cringy is usually applied to an unconfortable feeling. I think I overreached in trying to avoid close paraphrasing. I have replaced the word with "crisped". I hope that clarifies it. Dwergenpaartje (talk) 09:13, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Ortholobium
The position of Otholobium at present seems to be a mess. I see that you created most of the article. It appears to be agreed by sources such as Plants of the World Online that the African species of Otholobium are synonymous with Psoralea (which is the older name), so they are treated in that genus. Thus Otholobium accrescens is a synonym of Psoralea accrescens. The problem with the South American species is that they cannot be left in Otholobium, because the type species of that genus was the South African Psoralea caffra, so when the genera are combined, Otholobium becomes a synonym of Psoralea. As of now, South American species like Otholobium glandulosum are treated as "unplaced" by PoWO. I do think that we have to be clear that the South African species are now placed in Psoralea – note for example that Psoralea accrescens is listed in the Psoralea article. There's a real danger of articles being created for some species in both Psoralea and Otholobium. Peter coxhead (talk) 18:32, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
- Yes, you are right. South-American Otholobium is not particularly closely related to South-African. The author of Otholobium, Charles Stirton, himself only put South-African species in his own genus. Merging South-African Otholobium with Psoralea is straight forward, but Stirton himself identified characters distinguishing the two. Following the phylogeny portrayed in the wiki-article, the consequence of lumping both South-African and South American Otholobium with Psoralea implies that all other genera in the entire Psoraleeae are reduced to Psoralea (i.e. Cullen, Bituminaria, Hoita, Orbexilum, Ladeania, Psoralidium, Rupertia and Pediomelum). I am not aware of a new study conflicting with the one cited there. Stirton seems to have changed his opinion from splitting to lumping, but I do not know exactly why. I note however that the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) still sticks to Otholobium, e.g. Otholobium bracteolatum. As long as a revision has not been published, stability in the nomenclature of the Psoraleeae is not guaranteed. I think redirects from Psoralea species to the respective names in Otholobium would be clear enough and avoids changes that may have to be reverted in coming years. Do you want me to consult Stirton or one of his younger colleagues, so you can make an informed decision? I am all in your hands. Dwergenpaartje (talk) 10:48, 21 April 2024 (UTC)
