Fly-Catcher Plant
editUmm... speaking as a member of a carnivorous plant society, and as someone who grows these plants, I can honestly say I have NEVER heard of cephs referred to as the "fly catcher plant". A search of google shows that only Britannica calls them by this name. (This name could of course refer to ANY carnivorous plant.) nick 17:09, 8 May 2005 (UTC)
Likewise: I've been fiddling with most of the CP articles of late (updating taxoboxes, mostly), and there's some factually iffy stuff in some of them. I think the main Carnivorous_plant page could do with an edit too, as there's not much on it except a list and some largely irrelevant fluff about Little Shop of Horrors...
- Yeah, the page on pitcher plants is pretty poor as well. If I get time, and if the wikipedia servers pick up a bit, I might rewrite a couple of these pages. nick 14:48, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
Cephalotus cultivars / forms
editShould there be mention of some of the cultivars available out there? eg. Hummer's, Giant, all red etc. forms. Flytrap canada 04:19, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
- It would probably be best to mention only those cultivars that have actualy been registered. Other forms could be mentioned but not listed, if you know what I mean. Feel free to add this. --NoahElhardt 23:09, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
"sister to the Brunelliaceae"
edit[Dumping a note to follow up later] This claim is regularly sourced to Davies et al. (2004) "Darwin’s abominable mystery: Insights from a supertree of the angiosperms" but I can't find anything on it in that paper; perhaps I'm going blind? The same conclusion is drawn by Crayn et al. (2006) "Molecular phylogeny and dating reveals an Oligo-Miocene radiation of dry-adapted shrubs (former Tremandraceae) from rainforest tree progenitors (Elaeocarpaceae) in Australia" and it has APWeb's approval.
