I'll have this reviewed in a few hours. Wolverine XI ^{(talk to me)} 14:25, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

One common name, punctured rock-tripe, refers to the distinctive sieve-like perforations on the thallus margins. This goes against MOS, no?

Sorry, I'm missing the MoS infraction ... please explain.

The species was first scientifically described in 1777 First is redundant
Umbilicaria torrefacta was first described in 1777 by the English parson-naturalist John Lightfoot, as Lichen torrefactus. First also redundant here

Removed the first instance of "first", added "and named" to the second instance, so that leaving "first" is justified. Esculenta (talk) 14:24, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

though less regular and less shiny. Shiny is an odd word choice

It's the descriptor used in the original 1777 source. Not really that odd when other qualitative adjectives often used for thallus appearance/texture include matt, lustrous, polished, dull, etc. Esculenta (talk) 14:24, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

When U. torrefacta is rewet after being dried, it emits a scent reminiscent of tea leaves. Mind merging it with another paragraph?

Done. Esculenta (talk) 14:24, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This lichen species, like many others, shows specific absorption features near 685 nanometre (nm) nanometre should be plural

Fixed. Esculenta (talk) 14:24, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can't comment much on prose
File:Three tartans.jpg needs author, source, description and date

As far as I can see, the Commons page shows the source (upload by Dreamyshade) and date (14 January 2013). I added a caption to the image on the Commons page, but it looks like licensing requirements are met? Esculenta (talk) 14:24, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing much to say, except that this is a solid piece of work. Wolverine XI ^{(talk to me)} 19:34, 17 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! My changes are here; still need clarity on the first point. Esculenta (talk) 14:24, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Never mind; it's no big deal. Wolverine XI ^{(talk to me)} 17:08, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
