New species R. speciosa edit

Parking some refs until I (or someone else) can create a stub. Also need to work a mention into this article on the genus.

(Good grief I forgot to sign. I seem to do that when switching back-and-forth between source and visual. Or maybe it’s the bullet list that causes me to forget context.) Pelagicmessages ) – (09:00 Sat 26, AEST) 23:00, 25 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Pelagic: Thanks for that. I hope you approve of the changes I've made to the article and will update the Rhizanthella species articles and write new ones for R. johnstonii and R. omissa (unless you get there first). I'll update this one (Distribution and Habitat) after writing the others. Gderrin (talk) 22:47, 25 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, @Gderrin! The species list and other improvements look great. I find Wikimedia can be ... difficult at times, so it's nice to stumble into a subject area like this that has helpful and experienced watchers. I did the stub for R. speciosa, which is a bit uncharacteristic for me since I tend to let things brew for a while. I wasn’t planning to tackle R. johnstonii and R. omissa, so go wild with those if you feel so inclined. Pelagicmessages ) – (09:33 Sat 26, AEST) 23:33, 25 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Pelagic: Hmmm - might take a few days. These things are so different from anything else. I have plenty of sources but getting the wording right.... Starting with R. gardneri. Good luck with your work and thanks for your support. Gderrin (talk) 00:21, 26 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
