G'day mate,
Out of curiosity, what possessed you to convert the genus article Anthotroche into the species article Anthotroche walcottii? Titles get changed all the time, but it is not often I see someone to alter an article's topic.

Is my categorisation of the environment in File:Mt Anne from High Shelf Camp.jpg as alpine heathland correct? I just wanted a second opinion. The elevation of the camera would be 1150 meters roughly. I was mostly going from the descriptions here. The pandanis only ever got to maybe thigh high and were much, much smaller than some of the ones at lower altitudes such as near lake dobson on mt field.

Great to be collaborating with you again. If you have any more Adenanthos pics floating around, I'll be happy to expand any stubs you see fit to create.

I was out in the bush near the coast today, and I noticed that the woollybushes there, which I had always assumed were A. cygnorum stunted by salt-laden winds, had laminate leaves. So I took a branch home, and have just identified it as A. meisneri. I didn't have my camera with me, and my branch is too wilted and beaten up to pose for me now, so that's an opportunity lost. :-( On the other hand, I know where to go back to later in the year when it ought to be flowering. :-) Hesperian 11:27, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Why did you alter the page Boronia imalayensis? I am trying to find if this plant is rare or not. And no-one wishes to answer any questions. It is a simple question. Is the plant rare, vulnerable or endangered. And no-one in the NSW national park, or the Royal Botanic Gardens wants to answer the question. Phone calls, personal face to face questions and e-mails are all ignored. Why did you delete my remarks? Poyt448 ( talk) 11:25, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
Perhaps a direct message to me in the first instance would have been more polite. Poyt448 ( talk) 12:00, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
Apologies from me as well. Sorry for being aggressive.
I'm very frustrated trying to find out whether if Boronia imlayensis has a rare status. Trying to get an answer from the NSW botanical authorities is almost impossible. They refuse to answer questions. They block my e-mail. They dodge the question. All I ask is a simple question. Why can't I get a simple answer? Surely a plant like the Imlay Boronia should be "rare" or "vulnerable", possibly "endangered". I saw so many of them last November on the mountain. Why is this all so difficult?

Thanks for updating the latitudinal distribution on the article Mirbelia rubiifolia. I have little knowledge of small Australian plants.

I've replied on my talk page but thank you for reminding me to fix my error. I've as VI what happens with the incorrect species ID.
On a different plant/weed I was wondering if you know that this species ( start of the flower) is? I'm guessing it is a thistle which get to around 1-1.5m tall. Bidgee ( talk) 14:16, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Hi,
Well done in finding the reference to the wonderful Wilsons Prom. And what a great place that is. The Plant Net references suggested this plant does not go as far south as Victoria. But indeed it does.
I still have many, many yellow and red flowers of the pea family to attempt to identify. Incidentally, the wildflowers now at Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park are the best in years. It's a spectacular sight in August.
Please advise if you think my identification of any of these photos is not correct.
kind regards Peter Poyt448 ( talk) 10:34, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for your kind offer: any assistance with identification would be appreciated.
Hi, the second photo was taken in low heath country on skeletal sandstone soils. I thought the first one might be Dillwynia sieberi, why did you exclude that one as a possibility? I have no idea about the cultivated one. These pea family plants are far too difficult for me. On the weekend I found three plants of varying degrees of rarity growing in situ. Eucalyptus squamosa, Eucalyptus luehmanniana and the extremely rare Pherosphaera fitzgeraldii. I'll stick to these types of plants, at least I can identify them! cheers Poyt448 ( talk) 01:55, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Melburnian! :) I was just wondering, if you would be able to tell me what the policies on Wikipedia, are for copying large chunks of information from other websites to an article? Because If you take a look at the Patterson Lakes, Victoria article, and most, if not all of that article has been copied from other sites, word-for-word. Nearby Cheltenham, Victoria, it's article is 4,000 bytes short to Patterson Lakes, and already the article features more than 30 references, 30 more than Patterson Lakes. It is worrying because this article is so large, but knowone really has contributed anything by themselves...only copied and pasted information. What is more shocking than copy + paste, is the editor who seems to be contributing the most...User:1subwoofer...The same user that had copy + pasted on the Parkdale Secondary College article.
What can I possibly do? This user has already been asked to provide references, but has failed to comply, and if this user was to stop editing, we still have 18,000 bytes of copy + pasted information... Thanks -- MelbourneStar☆ ( talk) 01:57, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
Is this grounds for removal of sections that do not have references, did not have a Edit summary? Because If I was that user, I could make something up, add it into the article, and know it wouldn't be challenged because there are no references in the whole article. If it is not grounds for removal, could you please help me get through this? -- MelbourneStar☆ ( talk) 05:45, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Any ideas these single leaf growths were in the boranup reserve(herb layer in Karri forest) south of Margaret river any thoughts as to what the might be, there was a reasonable population I saw ~50 in the area I covered, mostly in pairs like this though each leaf looks like its a separate plant Gnan garra 14:10, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
I think the ID is correct, but I don't really know anything about these plants. My caption was straight from the ID at the gardens (I still have a photo of the ID label with the original photo) - but they could have got it wrong.
Yes, they look very similar; however going on the descriptions and other photos the Bush Pearls look to be very low growing compact plants, while the Bush Ochre is described as "0.6-1.2 metres tall", which seems to match a bit more with my photo (I think I've cropped a bit off the top, having a look back at the original). However it also says the Bush Ochre has "bronze and yellow flowers", with flowering in sprin-- Melburnian ( talk) 13:46, 6 April 2011 (UTC)g, summer and autumn - the flowers must come from the pink buds, unfortunately mine seems to show no flowers, having been taken in mid-winter.
Do you think it's wrong? -- jjron ( talk) 06:21, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
The Plant Breeders Rights Database mentions that 'Bush Ochre' has a light density of pubescence on the perianth tube and a higher density on the ovary (the bulge at the base). That means that the yellow green colour shows through more above the ovary, giving the overall "bronze and yellow" effect. This effect can be seen best on fully developed flowers.-- Melburnian ( talk) 11:55, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi Melburnian,
I've just had an email notification from Crataegus specialist Knud Ib Christensen, who knows that I've been editing Crataegus entries on Wikipedia, but is not himself a Wikipedian. He points out "I found a classical misidentification: the image of Crataegus tanacetifolia is actually an image of Crataegus orientalis (probably subsp. orientalis)! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crataegus_tanacetifolia".
This is a common mistake in botanical gardens collections!! I thought that you'd probably want to deal with the situation rather than have me just remove the photo. Best regards, Nadiatalent ( talk) 12:28, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
Great! I've added it to the Crataegus orientalis page. It would be good to get a photo of ripe fruit, to replace the lead image (which is mine, but I don't often get to Denmark to see that tree). Nadiatalent ( talk) 11:50, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
That's wonderful, but I can't find the photos in Commons. Nadiatalent ( talk) 13:38, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi, you've probably seen on the talk page that Knud Ib Christensen confirms from your additional photos that it is subsp. orientalis. I've added the photo that I think shows the diagnostic characters particularly well to the Russian and Azerbayjani pages as well. That's a really nice addition! (I'm too unsure of those languages to add more photos to them.)
P.S. Strangely, the commons category still isn't working (perhaps it's some kind of time-lag problem that will eventually clear itself). Nadiatalent ( talk) 18:02, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Dear merburnian,
Thank you for your help concerning the identification of File:Conopholis sp1.JPG. It is indeed a Balanophoraceae taxon, which I have further identified as Balanophora fungosa.

Thanks for this edit. I was drawn into editing the article because the hatnote was improperly bolded; I then removed the italics from the subject in the opening sentence because, in my ignorance, I did not realize that "Magnolia" was also a scientific name.

Hi Melburnian! :) I have a worry and a concern reguarding the Cranbourne, Victoria article. There have been around three Ip-editors that have made edits that have used the word: "UK2K" All rivisions, I have reverted as they constitute to Vandalism. But only today, I did a little research on google, and found out UK2K stands for : "U Keen 2 Kill" There's even a facebook page about this, and also when you type this word in Google it comes up in the suggestions "UK2K Gangs" ...Here are the Article edits:
This article has experienced a lot of vandalism. I'm probably just paranoid, I don't live there, but to know that there are gangs just a few suburbs away, makes me feel a little 'unsafe'. I'm not asking the page to be protected just because of these edits + other vandalism...I just want to know what you think about this, or what I or others can do to stop Ip's making such edits on the article. Sorry if I sound stupid, I just am worried, and curious too -- MelbourneStar☆ (talk to me) 13:40, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

I was out in the bush near the coast today, and I noticed that the woollybushes there, which I had always assumed were A. cygnorum stunted by salt-laden winds, had laminate leaves. So I took a branch home, and have just identified it as A. meisneri. I didn't have my camera with me, and my branch is too wilted and beaten up to pose for me now, so that's an opportunity lost. :-( On the other hand, I know where to go back to later in the year when it ought to be flowering. :-) Hesperian 11:27, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Why did you alter the page Boronia imalayensis? I am trying to find if this plant is rare or not. And no-one wishes to answer any questions. It is a simple question.

Apologies from me as well. Sorry for being aggressive.
I'm very frustrated trying to find out whether if Boronia imlayensis has a rare status. Trying to get an answer from the NSW botanical authorities is almost impossible. They refuse to answer questions. They block my e-mail. They dodge the question. All I ask is a simple question. Why can't I get a simple answer? Surely a plant like the Imlay Boronia should be "rare" or "vulnerable", possibly "endangered". I saw so many of them last November on the mountain. Why is this all so difficult?

Hi,
Well done in finding the reference to the wonderful Wilsons Prom. And what a great place that is. The Plant Net references suggested this plant does not go as far south as Victoria. But indeed it does.
I still have many, many yellow and red flowers of the pea family to attempt to identify. Incidentally, the wildflowers now at Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park are the best in years. It's a spectacular sight in August.
Please advise if you think my identification of any of these photos is not correct.
kind regards Peter Poyt448 ( talk) 10:34, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for your kind offer: any assistance with identification would be appreciated.
Hi, the second photo was taken in low heath country on skeletal sandstone soils. I thought the first one might be Dillwynia sieberi, why did you exclude that one as a possibility? I have no idea about the cultivated one. These pea family plants are far too difficult for me. On the weekend I found three plants of varying degrees of rarity growing in situ. Eucalyptus squamosa, Eucalyptus luehmanniana and the extremely rare Pherosphaera fitzgeraldii. I'll stick to these types of plants, at least I can identify them! cheers Poyt448 ( talk) 01:55, 24 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi Melburnian! :) I was just wondering, if you would be able to tell me what the policies on Wikipedia, are for copying large chunks of information from other websites to an article? Because If you take a look at the Patterson Lakes, Victoria article, and most, if not all of that article has been copied from other sites, word-for-word. Nearby Cheltenham, Victoria, it's article is 4,000 bytes short to Patterson Lakes, and already the article features more than 30 references, 30 more than Patterson Lakes. It is worrying because this article is so large, but knowone really has contributed anything by themselves...only copied and pasted information. What is more shocking than copy + paste, is the editor who seems to be contributing the most...User:1subwoofer...The same user that had copy + pasted on the Parkdale Secondary College article.
What can I possibly do? This user has already been asked to provide references, but has failed to comply, and if this user was to stop editing, we still have 18,000 bytes of copy + pasted information... Thanks -- MelbourneStar☆ ( talk) 01:57, 5 March 2011 (UTC)
Is this grounds for removal of sections that do not have references, did not have a Edit summary?

I think the ID is correct, but I don't really know anything about these plants. My caption was straight from the ID at the gardens (I still have a photo of the ID label with the original photo) - but they could have got it wrong.
Yes, they look very similar; however going on the descriptions and other photos the Bush Pearls look to be very low growing compact plants, while the Bush Ochre is described as "0.6-1.2 metres tall", which seems to match a bit more with my photo (I think I've cropped a bit off the top, having a look back at the original). However it also says the Bush Ochre has "bronze and yellow flowers", with flowering in sprin-- Melburnian ( talk) 13:46, 6 April 2011 (UTC)g, summer and autumn - the flowers must come from the pink buds, unfortunately mine seems to show no flowers, having been taken in mid-winter.
Do you think it's wrong? -- jjron ( talk) 06:21, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
The Plant Breeders Rights Database mentions that 'Bush Ochre' has a light density of pubescence on the perianth tube and a higher density on the ovary (the bulge at the base). That means that the yellow green colour shows through more above the ovary, giving the overall "bronze and yellow" effect. This effect can be seen best on fully developed flowers.-- Melburnian ( talk) 11:55, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

The fact was ... that the genus Comesperma contains such plants as the Broom Milkwort (pictured), pink matchheads and love creeper? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Hi Melburnian,
I've just had an email notification from Crataegus specialist Knud Ib Christensen, who knows that I've been editing Crataegus entries on Wikipedia, but is not himself a Wikipedian. He points out "I found a classical misidentification: the image of Crataegus tanacetifolia is actually an image of Crataegus orientalis (probably subsp. orientalis)! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crataegus_tanacetifolia".
This is a common mistake in botanical gardens collections!! I thought that you'd probably want to deal with the situation rather than have me just remove the photo. Best regards, Nadiatalent ( talk) 12:28, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
Great! I've added it to the Crataegus orientalis page. It would be good to get a photo of ripe fruit, to replace the lead image (which is mine, but I don't often get to Denmark to see that tree). Nadiatalent ( talk) 11:50, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
That's wonderful, but I can't find the photos in Commons. Nadiatalent ( talk) 13:38, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi, you've probably seen on the talk page that Knud Ib Christensen confirms from your additional photos that it is subsp. orientalis. I've added the photo that I think shows the diagnostic characters particularly well to the Russian and Azerbayjani pages as well. That's a really nice addition! (I'm too unsure of those languages to add more photos to them.)
P.S. Strangely, the commons category still isn't working (perhaps it's some kind of time-lag problem that will eventually clear itself). Nadiatalent ( talk) 18:02, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
Wondering if you could ID of this Banksia (flower and leaf photos: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7). Bidgee ( talk) 09:14, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
Yeah let's hope so...unfortunately the salicinae are good at throwing up hybrids and hybrid swarms... :/ Casliber ( talk · contribs) 14:58, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
I need to ask the folks in Wagga where they planted the local provenance marginata around town.... Casliber ( talk · contribs) 14:58, 4 May 2011 (UTC)
Funny. just looked at my Deniliquin marginata - geez it looks like integrifolia, so this might be the local form. I will try and ring some folks tonight. Casliber ( talk · contribs) 08:24, 5 May 2011 (UTC) adult leaves - look heaps like integrifolia but are much thinner-fealing, juvenile leaves. Took a photo of the flower spike but well out of focus.. :( Casliber ( talk · contribs) 14:47, 15 May 2011 (UTC)
Ok I've got a few more photos of some plants/weeds that need ID'ing but I'll do one for now, I'm hoping someone may know. This ( 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7) is something I've not seen before, most likely flushed down during the flood in December. Bidgee ( talk) 13:07, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
Dear merburnian,
Thank you for your help concerning the identification of File:Conopholis sp1.JPG. It is indeed a Balanophoraceae taxon, which I have further identified as Balanophora fungosa.

Thanks for this edit. I was drawn into editing the article because the hatnote was improperly bolded; I then removed the italics from the subject in the opening sentence because, in my ignorance, I did not realize that "Magnolia" was also a scientific name. Thanks for correcting my error. 98.71.218.201 ( talk) 04:11, 10 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi Melburnian! :) I have a worry and a concern reguarding the Cranbourne, Victoria article. There have been around three Ip-editors that have made edits that have used the word: "UK2K" All rivisions, I have reverted as they constitute to Vandalism. But only today, I did a little research on google, and found out UK2K stands for : "U Keen 2 Kill" There's even a facebook page about this, and also when you type this word in Google it comes up in the suggestions "UK2K Gangs" ...Here are the Article edits:
This article has experienced a lot of vandalism. I'm probably just paranoid, I don't live there, but to know that there are gangs just a few suburbs away, makes me feel a little 'unsafe'. I'm not asking the page to be protected just because of these edits + other vandalism...I just want to know what you think about this, or what I or others can do to stop Ip's making such edits on the article. Sorry if I sound stupid, I just am worried, and curious too -- MelbourneStar☆ (talk to me) 13:40, 14 May 2011 (UTC)
On 17 May 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Nadgee Nature Reserve, which you created or substantially expanded.

I notice you changed "litres" back to "liters" again. I've done this several times as far as I remember. For some reason this article seem to attract inappropriate edits. Would it be worth considering semi-protection? Peter coxhead ( talk) 18:31, 30 May 2011 (UTC)
