Comments:

  • a living fossil, lots of paleontology and chinese medicine and horticulture all to boot. As it is a species, a lot more circumscribed and may be a lot more doable first off
  • Since there are fossil species in this genus, the article will need to cover them as well, since it is the genus article. --EncycloPetey (talk) 15:31, 14 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Good point. I guess the first port-of-call will be to decide what information goes where and split off G. biloba...with living and fossil lsited and briefly described at a genus page. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 04:44, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comments:

  • unusual choice. all too close to a glossary plus some random observations like "many stems are eaten" (which would be trite except that it goes on for quite a few paragraphs, with little focus).

Comments:

  • need to figure out the scope of this article (abscission and related processes? the ecology - kind of like hardwood forest but broader? And is the suggested merge with evergreen a good or bad idea?).
  • Also, us aussies may get bored with this one..

  • This is a very basic article, but is still at a "start" level of material. There's a lot of room for contributions in terms of development, genetics, classification, and horticulture. --EncycloPetey (talk) 03:20, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • This plant is of general interest because of its peculiar growth habit and biology. It is evolutionarily very distinct and is a foremost example of a living fossil. The page needs nearly a complete rewrite, as much of the poorly written information is either incorrect, not cited, or both.--Columbiabotany (talk) 03:27, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • Agreed. Welwitschia is often brought up in the classroom as a strange but important basal gymnosperm, and so this page is probably visited frequently. The very curious facts about Welwitschia that are listed on this page could be checked and properly cited very easily with a little help! Cabbagetreeeater (talk) 06:14, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
