Oxalis dillenii |
Oxalis dillenii, also the southern wood-sorrel and slender yellow woodsorrel, is part of the wood-sorrel family Oxalidaceae, in the genus Oxalis. Like other Oxalis species, the leaves of this plant resemble clover leaves, with three leaflets. Flowers have five yellow petals that are 4 to 10 millimetres (0.16 to 0.39 in) in length. Leaflets are 1 to 2 centimetres (0.39 to 0.79 in) wide with pointed hairs. Fruits are rather brown and 1.5 to 2.5 centimetres (0.59 to 0.98 in). It is often considered a weed, and can be found worldwide, but likely originated in North America.[1]

Reviewing Hamamelis ovalis

Reviewing Ilex decidua
- Lead: only one sentence to begin this exploration of the species.
- Content:
- Description does not contain significant information, possible to add detail here.
- Distribution and ecology: appears to be an adequate exploration of where this tree grows.
- Human use: Two sentences. There may be room here for more, but research would be necessary.
- References: As there are only three content sections, the 8 references are probably adequate, and all sources appear to be reliable and verifiable.
- Tone and Balance:
- The Description and Distribution are written mostly from an unbiased perspective, though the Human Use section appears to be entirely conjecture. Room for improvement here, as well.
- Sources and References: See above.
- Organization: Adequate for content.
- Images and Media: the images present are okay, but more definitely could be done here. There are no images of the full tree.
- Talk Page: Only one entry on the talk page, and it looks as though there have been no edits.
- Overall Impressions: There is not a tremendous amount to judge. Additions could be beneficial in cultivation, taxonomy and conservation status. Adding to the uses section also could improve this article.
