Article is long enough, new enough, and adequately footnoted. Creator has only 3 DYK credits, so QPQ doesn't apply. I did not see excessively close paraphrasing. Original hook is fully supported and is interesting, IMO. I don't like the ALT hook -- it's sourced, but the only source is a list of species names, without any context. Also, it's not going to be particularly interesting (unless a reader is already very interested in this plant or the Shirakami-Sanchi site). Both images are suitably licensed, but the image of the whole tree isn't currently in the article (to be used in DYK, an image needs to be used in the article). --Orlady (talk) 17:41, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
