As of now, http://www.efloras.org/ is offline. This affects, among others, the online Flora of North America and the online Flora of China, both widely used in references. The Flora of North America seems to have moved to http://floranorthamerica.org, but with no clear mapping between old and new URLs for taxa. I can only find the Flora of China via http://flora.huh.harvard.edu/china/, from which you can get to PDFs for families, but apparently not individual taxa.

A nomenclatural issue (why is the type of Rosa Rosa cinnomomea when Rosa cinnomomea is a synonym (per POWO) of Rosa pendulina?) has been raised at Talk:Rose. If anyone can shed any light ... Lavateraguy ( talk) 20:59, 22 March 2024 (UTC)
Hello all! I have begun work on a new type of plant article and would like to receive some input from you lovely folks before I continue. I noticed there are no articles on any specific epithets or lists containing all species with a particular name. To try to remedy this, I started the Set Index Article foliosum, which aims to collect all species that end in that epithet. I would like to take this to FLC when it is complete, so am trying to solicit input that would bring it to that standard. I also have the goal of bringing other articles of list type to FLC, so general feedback/suggestions/consensus are welcome. In particular, I have two main queries:
Thank you for any thoughts you have, whether here or at the article's talk page! Fritzmann ( message me) 16:13, 26 March 2024 (UTC)
I've been working on a Draft:List of Penstemon species (almost finished) and I've run into the fact that Penstemon alluviorum is a synonym of Penstemon digitalis according to POWO, WFO, and Flora of North America. It contains essentially no information and unless there are objections I'm going to turn it into a redirect. 🌿MtBotany ( talk) 19:33, 27 March 2024 (UTC)
I have always blindly followed other editors of plant articles by "smalling" the authors of synonyms in taxoboxes (as for Lambertia formosa for example). I have searched for guidance but can only find examples such as here. Is describing the editors of synonyms in small font contrary to MOS:SMALLFONT as suggested at Styphelia prostrata?

I have almost finished finding photographs for the Draft:List of Penstemon species and should be finished in about a week. Currently I have the list in a table with four columns: Scientific Name, Authority, Common Names, and Photo. I thought it might occasionally be useful to be able to sort the table by Authority, but if I put it into just three columns it may display better on mobile devices. Any opinions on what I should prioritize? 🌿MtBotany ( talk) 18:09, 9 April 2024 (UTC)
Please see this quote regarding an amazing donation of tens of thousands of photos depicting South African plants:
"Greetings from the Afrikaanse Wikipedia where I am a bureaucrat. Last year I negotiated a deal with Emeritus prof. A.E. van Wyk (renowned botanist and author of various books on Flora in South Africa) whereby he agreed to share his 60,000 photos with us (a lifetime's work). He has started loading those pictures onto Commons as User:SAPlants. I think it is going to take him the better part of three years to complete this. All the pictures are categorised according to their taxonomic names. He has already loaded close to 18,000 pictures. Most of the pictures covers Southern Africa flora. We, here on the Afrikaans Wikipedia, are working hard to create articles to accommodate these pictures! A good example is the family Aizoaceae with 100 genera already created! I invite you to get stuck into those pictures and articles..." Adam Harangozó ( talk) 09:16, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm trying to add refs to very old unsourced pages and came across Batales. I'm not familiar with best practice for refs in this area, so could someone here add some refs to improve it, please? JMWt ( talk) 06:18, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
Hello WP:PLANTS people! I was trying to copyedit Tacca integrifolia and saw that somebody previously changed the use of the common name "white batflower" to "white bat flower." I reverted them and looked for a source to prove either spelling, and I found a lot of shop listings that said the latter, but those aren't exactly reliable. Do any of you guys have access to a source that says otherwise? I also looked at Tacca and both terms were used in the same article. Thanks! —asparagusus (interaction) sprouts! 13:47, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
There is a requested move discussion at Talk:José Mariano de Conceição Vellozo#Requested move 28 April 2024 that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. RodRabelo7 ( talk) 01:12, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
