Old World Mimosa hostilis

where does it grow in the old world? Benny Shannon mentiones its found in the middle east as well as in Brazil. Or is he confusing Acacia with it, because he goes on to say its wood is used for the construction of the Tabernacle?--89.172.68.243 22:46, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Mimosa hostilis is an older botanical name for this plant, which is native to the New World. It is surprising the there is no mention of Mimosa hostilis in this article, aside from the redirect. Does anyone know why or when "hostilis" changed to tenuiflora?Jace1 (talk) 18:54, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Hepatotoxicity of Mimosa tenuiflora

In a study called “Cicatricial, antibacterial and antimycotic effects of tepescohuite in experimental animals” (authors: Palacios C, Reyes RE, López-Martínez R, de León B, Pablos JL, Ruiz-Maldonado R.Departamento de Dermatología, Instituto Nacional de Pediatría, S.S., México, D.F., mention is made of the hepatotoxic effects of Mimosa tenuiflora.

I found no mention of hepatotoxicity here and feel that the addition of such information would be important to this article.

Looking for more information, I linked to some of the references and found the following problems: 8: the referenced article has a brief mention of traditional use but offers no source for this. 14: link inoperative.

Many of the links derived from a similar source (discussion of the gas explosion in Mexico City), but none had any original content or documentation of this story. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PiqueTurns (talk • contribs) 02:18, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Relevance of photos

Some of the photos relate to the article in only the most general sense. Generic pictures of a fire truck, a Mayan pyramid, and a bottle labeled “tannic acid in Redwood bark” do not add to my knowledge or understanding of Mimosa tenuiflora. Could these be replaced with more relevant photos or simply removed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by PiqueTurns (talk • contribs) 02:22, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Oh my. I was going to comment on this issue myself. There is some useful information in the captions, but the photos themselves are irrelevant. I was inclined to just comment and leave the photos (& captions), but seeing how this issue was raised more than a year ago, I'm going to go ahead and remove the photos.192.104.39.2 (talk) 22:02, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Oral Activity without MAO inhibitor

I have found no references suggesting it is active without a MAO inhibitor and this article does not provide them. Please provide references, even anecdotal, or remove this line " root bark is consistently used without added MAOI." . All Reports on its use suggest use with b. caapi or syrian rue to provide the MAOI required. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.104.241.84 (talk) 19:24, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Blacklisted Links Found on the Main Page

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.

Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

In film

Probably not worth adding to the article, but I'll leave it here to see whether others think it might be - the use of tepezcohuite to treat burns is a plot element in the film and book "Like Water for Chocolate". Grutness...wha? 15:24, 22 August 2017 (UTC)
