References, sources and copyright edit

Hi, I replaced an empty <ref name=":0" /> with an existing reference. Although the reference is verified, I wanted to note I'm not convinced that http://tropical.theferns.info is a reliable source.

I also {{cn}}-tagged the statement "Flowers are bright orange colored, measure between 4 and 4 ½ cm long with dark orange bracts and boat-shaped lobes; they lack petals and have a lily-like fragrance." that was backed by an empty <ref name=":1" />.

<ref name=":4"> leads to an unrelated page with subject Begonia tigrina.

The statement "The fruit of the A. rafflesiana plant is used as an anti-inflammatory and alternative cancer treatment by isolating cardamonin, a chemical that inhibits major signaling pathways found in inflammation and cancer." needs a clear verification in the supplied source, I added a {{failed verification}} tag in the body and a {{cite check}} tag at the top. Cardamonin is not mentioned in the source.

The article image [[File:Alpinia rafflesiana.jpg]] was uploaded by the article creator, apparently from a Twitter source. Not sure if this is allowed.

While the article now doesn't appear in Category:Pages with broken reference names anymore, I feel there are a few outstanding issues left. Wakari07 (talk) 20:15, 13 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
