• ... that the stems of blaspheme vine (pictured) are "viciously armed" with prickles?

• The reference citing the claim that the vine is "viciously armed" with prickles doesn't explicitly mention this - it states "Its stems are armed with abundant to occasional, stout prickles". Could the article/hook perhaps be reworded to something like "armed with stout prickles"? Not quite as catchy but matches the source more closely. Mattythewhite (talk) 20:54, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
  • Fixed. The wrong reference tag was there. It is a direct quote from the other reference.-IceCreamAntisocial (talk) 00:26, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
    • Thanks. Age, length and references all check out so I'm happy to pass this. Mattythewhite (talk) 01:00, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
