Jankaea

(

)

... that Jankaea heldreichii grows on Mount Olympus in Greece and nowhere else? Source: "This plant is endemic to north-central Greece, where it only occurs on Mt Olympos, mainly on the north side e.g. Xerolakki Rema, Papa Rema and also on the east side at Enipefs valley from below Agios Dionysios monastery."

New enough, long enough, well-written and sourced, and no copyvio/close paraphrasing that I can see. Hook is interesting and cited in the article (I've added the necessary inline cite to the hook material in the article here). QPQ has been done and no image is used. Should be good to go; nice job! Just a suggestion, not a requirement: Cwmhiraeth, I think it would be a good idea to maybe mention briefly in the hook that this species was previously widely distributed and/or why its range is so restricted. I don't want to make the hook too long and cluttered, but I think this gives readers a tiny bit more background and makes it more interesting. I'm curious what you would think about this idea.--SkyGazer 512 ^{Oh no, what did I do this time?} 15:40, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

@SkyGazer 512: Thanks for the review. Although several sources mention it being a relict species, they do not expand on how this came about. However I did gain access to the Vokou paper, whereas I only had the abstract before, and have now added some more information. We could try ALT1

ALT1 ... that Jankaea heldreichii is a relict species that grows on Mount Olympus in Greece and nowhere else? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 19:22, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

@Cwmhiraeth: ALT1 looks fine to me. But I wonder if we could somehow incorporate the reason for the range diminishing into the hook? The article says it once had a more widespread distribution but as the climate changed, suitable habitat for the plant dwindled, and it became confined to its present range.--SkyGazer 512 ^{Oh no, what did I do this time?} 21:46, 7 February 2019 (UTC)

@SkyGazer 512: I'd like to but it would be speculation. I removed from the article a sentence about the ice ages and glaciation because I found mention somewhere that the plant was anomalous because its family had a largely tropical distribution. So let's just leave it as a relict. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:11, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

Alright, in that case I suppose I can leave the promoter to decide between ALT0 and ALT1. Thanks for responding.--SkyGazer 512 ^{Oh no, what did I do this time?} 14:03, 8 February 2019 (UTC)

SkyGazer 512 there is no approval tick next to ALT1. Did you mean to approve it? — Maile (talk) 19:36, 3 March 2019 (UTC)

@Maile66: Eh, yes, sorry about that. ALT0 and ALT1 are both approved. Thank you for catching that and letting me know.--SkyGazer 512 ^{Oh no, what did I do this time?} 23:57, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
