Liparis liliifolia

  • ... that the correct spelling of liliifolia in the orchid name Liparis liliifolia has been debated over decades? Source: "Over the decades there have been many arguments as to whether this species name is spelled with one i or a double i. It has been shown that the correct spelling should be with a double i.")

  • I forgot to add an alt earlier. ALT1... that the orchid Liparis liliifolia is pollinated by flies? SL93 (talk) 00:37, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

  • I like ALT0 the best; I find it hilarious the things experts in various fields will debate with one another. ALT1 also sourced; not sure that's the most unusual thing about this plant, though. Approving both ALTs. --valereee (talk) 13:00, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
    • @Valereee: Thanks for the review. I included ALT1 since it seems that not many people think of flies as being pollinators. I'm fine with whatever is chosen since I think both are interesting. SL93 (talk) 22:22, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
      • Very true, a lot of folks think it's the honeybees, period :) --valereee (talk) 22:28, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
