- Summary:
- 1st: new article, 1507 characters; hook fact needs an inline citation
- 2nd: expansion, 361*5=1801 needed, at 1836; source says it's present, but not explicitly endemic to Tasmania
- 3rd: expansion, 50*5=1500 needed, now at 1646; same issue as #2.
Does the Flora of Australia Online website implicitly only include species that are endemic to Australia. If yes, is this sufficient to count as proof of endemicity? Not sure ... Sasata (talk) 06:59, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
- Good question - the Flora will note everywhere a species is found. For instance, Banksia dentata extends into PNG and Indonesia and this is noted. Hence the whole range is listed. So all native flora are covered, most of which are endemic. Casliber (talk · contribs) 03:16, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
