Overall:   There were a couple of very minor errors (apostrophes and commas), but I figured it would be better to fix them myself than bother you over them. Very nice photos as well. The only recommendation I've got to make is that more inline citation notes be used (for example, in §History and Classification we have The first description of Pseudolarix wehrii was by Roland W. Brown (1936) -- there's already a <ref> for that citation, why not just use it here? (One thing you might find helpful for this is list-defined references, which I found out about recently -- basically, they let you put all of the ref definitions in the section at the end instead of having them clutter up the source text).
