Hi again, I'll take this one. Comments soonish. Esculenta (talk) 03:11, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

list synonym(s) in taxobox
link Hypericum; petals
(not GA) any synonym names should redirect here
link authorities in taxobox; authorities should be unspaced
link gland; Hypericum aegypticum
"It has a chromosome number of n=10." a bit factoid-y without any context … is this a typical, unusual, or significant number for this genus?
"The stems of Hypericum russeggeri have four lines" don't know what lines means in this context (prominent longitudinal ridges or grooves?)
"They remain on the plant until its second season." is the implication that they then fall off?
link bracteole, deciduous
FYI, the tegmen link goes to an insect-related, not botanical, term
"Most of its chemicals are present in the flowering structures" I think "secondary metabolites" is a more appropriate terms here than the generic "chemicals".
is there anything more that could be said about the metabolites so that's it's more than just a list of names?
"first collected in 1836 by Theodor Kotschy and Ernest Coquebert de Montbret." could mention that they're botanists; Montbret could have an interlanguage link to French or German wikis if you think it's useful.
link prostrate
"its Syrian habitat" -> suggest "its occurrence in Syria" (a location isn't a "habitat")
"and its similarity in appearance to Triadenia thymifolia (now Hypericum aegypticum subsp. webbii).[9]" does source 9 (written in 1842) really support this statement about current nomenclatural status?
link new combination; synonym, describe
I think the lead should mention that this species is the type of its section
"thus making it the type and only species of Hypericum section Adenotrias." suggest adding "…at that time, only species"
I don't understand the taxonomy … if Engler was the one who transferred this taxon to Hypericum, why isn't his name given as the recombining authority? Who is "R. Keller"?
"Enger moved the species into Hypericum, noting its previous placement in a separate genus was unacceptable" why was it unacceptable?
Does the molecular phylogenetics work alluded to (" the species has continued to be retained in Hypericum since then") given any indication of its closest relatives in the genus (i.e., does it confirm the close relationship of the three sectional members?) In a similar vein, Hypericum aciferum is the other species in section Adenotrias but is not mentioned in this article (other than by name in the lead); should it be mentioned as a similar species (particularly since it's found in similar habitats)?
with such a limited distribution, a range map would seem to be a useful addition …
more categories? Taxa named by; Plants described in year; Flora of …
