Stone Flower Mixup

[edit]

Kalpasi is a lichen used as a spice, not a flower. Looks like it's been confused with Didymocarpus Pedicellatus because of the similar common names. I've seen Kalpasi called 'black stone flower' and 'stone flower'. While D. Pedicellatus gets called 'stone flower'. The botanical name for Kalpasi appears to be Parmelia Perlata

Sorry I lack the wiki skills to fix this up in the article(s) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.104.69.168 (talk) 23:06, 23 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Quite right. Now fixed, I think. --Stemonitis (talk) 17:25, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • Well what a taxonomic history this species has had.
  • Have the common names all been invented since 1990, as it appears? Perhaps a date or two would be helpful here.
  • I wasn't able to find much else to add about this. Most of my personal lichen sources have been printed since 1990, so I'm guilty of common name recentism. I did add a bit about another historical name, "pearly parmelia". Esculenta (talk) 01:38, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
  • Why is the phylogeny based on spacer sequences? Has only a limited range of markers has been studied to date?
  • For fungi, ITS sequences are most readily available when using genbank data in phylogenetic studies. "Borrowing" genbank sequence data makes one's phylogenetic study more global and thorough without the added cost of collecting and sequencing samples. ITS sequences aren't perfect for phylogenetic analysis, but they do a reasonable job in most cases. But of course, multi-gene studies are most robust.

  • 'Photobiont' talks repeatedly about "prolonged periods" of photo-oxidative stress, and the second paragraph actually goes close to that topic as well.
  • I've made some very small copy-edits in 'Habitat and distribution'.
  • The Uses section is terrific: informative and genuinely illuminating.
  • It might be as well to say that Mount Lawu is a volcano...

  • All images are on Commons and appear to be plausibly licensed.
  • The soredia photo is amazing.
  • The pic of P. crinitum has a smaller species in the centre?

  • Spot-checks I tried all passed.
