Talk:Centaurea montana

Edit to "Centaurea Montana"

I was unable to find a way to "talk" on the Wikipedia page regarding Centaurea Montana ("http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Centaurea_montana&action=edit"), as all it does is refer people to "Plant Portal". I wished to explain why I had changed the word "endemic" to "original". Wikipedia's own definition of "endemic" ("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endemic_%28ecology%29") says: "...organisms that are indigenous to a place are not endemic to it if they are also found elsewhere." Since Centaurea Montana "... escapes from gardens readily, and has thereby become established in the British Isles, Scandinavia and North America.", it cannnot therefore correctly be called endemic to Europe. I wanted to be on the record as to why I changed the site.
