I wasn't able to find that claim in the article. It says that the plant has been found in BC, but not that this is the only location. Also, I think saying that an extinct plant is in a certain place sounds a little weird.--Carabinieri (talk) 02:53, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

The type paper is the only verifiable source for locations where Stonebergia has been found. Per the type paper the species and genus is only found at the One Mile Creek site of the Allenby Formsation.--Kev min § 06:55, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

I feel a little uneasy with passing a hook that is not based on a source but on the mere absence of sources. Is there another interesting fact in the article that we could use?--Carabinieri (talk) 15:31, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

hmmm how about:

alt1 "... that the extinct rose species Stonebergia columbiana is named for its type locality of British Columbia?" --Kev min § 22:22, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Article is new enough and long enough. The hook is sourced to a paper, the full text of which is not available to me. Going with alt1. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:26, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
