Fungi

I am aware of the issues, and there is a case to be be made for excluding fungi. However, Flora of Australia (which is A class, not an FA) includes them. There seem to be very few decent 'Flora' articles to cite as precedent. Ben MacDui^Talk/Walk 18:52, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Personally, I'd have thought this was straightforward ... fungi are non-plants just like birds, beetles, Volkswagens and all sorts of other things which we don't include. This was not the prevailing belief for many centuries, sure, but we know better now. The article Earth, for example, says "The Earth's shape is very close to an oblate spheroid" rather than "the earth is flat" :-) SP-KP (talk) 21:04, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough. I imagined the Aussies were following some kind of precedent but the subject has very little regional or national coverage. I can see why - it is going to be very difficult to expand the article into one that is more than just a list in prose form. I will remove the fungal references. Any other suggestions welcome.

Latin names

At present the usage is not completely consistent, but the general intention is to have them appear in brackets after the common name where there is either a red link or a link to an aspecific genera, e.g. Scots Lovage (Ligusticum scoticum), which currently links only to 'Ligusticum'. Ben MacDui^Talk/Walk 20:53, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

The scientific name also appears for endemic species. Ben MacDui^Talk/Walk 16:12, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Tallest Trees

The 2011 publication of Champion Trees of Britain and Ireland: The Tree Register Handbook listing a new "highest tree" is frustrating as I don't have the publication and the reports of it I have seen decline to mention those listed in the 2008 FC report. I have assumed it simply bumps them down from Nos 1-4 to Nos 2-5. The Telegraph reports that this Grand Fir "is thought to be the UK’s tallest tree since before the last ice age." One wonders what evidence has been provided for this! Ben MacDui 10:40, 10 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks - I assume Dùghall Mòr does not make the Tree Register list as it has not been climbed. Ben MacDui 08:10, 11 July 2011 (UTC)
