Happy to give this a look-over. Review to follow soon. J Milburn ( talk) 15:09, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
No issue with the images (which are very nice) or stability. The sources all seem appropriate, even if I can be picky with formatting here and there. Overall, a very strong article, as ever. I'll be happy to promote once these various fixes are made. J Milburn ( talk) 15:41, 22 February 2013 (UTC)
I have the temerity to suggest an additional photograph of its habit or better still the habit of several mature shrubs well in focus and shown in their habitat (background). I'm very familiar with this beautiful plant in the field, in the hawkesbury sandstone region of greater Sydney. I know!—i know!—i should get out and do the work of the photography myself, instead of suggesting it to you people, who’ve done so much work on this article already.
Sorry i do not have such a photo on hand to provide. Please take this comment as a compliment, as just a thought, from a field botanist on a really good plant article, as this is the immediate thing, of the few things, that i notice to further improve it. ——-- macropneuma 11:44, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
… beaut surprise! (—a pity the scan’s reproduction of the engraving is not perfect (they probably didn’t bother to lift out the lift out!), as it’s overlapping some text. i will discuss in due course, see that page (223) and scroll backwards to page 214). ——-- macropneuma 14:02, 6 March 2013 (UTC) On further, closer, inspection, it is in the paper (over 200 years old); the engraving ink has bled into the other side of the folded page, of that copy they scanned; i take back what i said about the scan. Maybe take a photo of this page of another copy, of this over 200 years old journal, in a Sydney library—maybe someone in the herbarium has already got such a proper photographic reproduction, from a well preserved copy(?) ——-- macropneuma 14:30, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
How is this a featured article? It doesn't seem comprehensive of everything to me (although it looks like it should be a good article)! Gug01 ( talk) 20:15, 31 January 2015 (UTC)
