Original sentence: At the conclusion of flowering, the old flower parts fall away, revealing the axis, which may be embedded with up to 60 follicles.The dull green leaves are from 15–27 cm (6–11 in) long, and 1–2 cm (⅓–⅔ in) width, with dentate leaf margins made up of triangular lobes, and often an undulate (wavy) surface.The root system consists of a main sinker root and up to ten lateral roots, extending from a non-lignotuberous root crown.They are typically from 3–5 cm (1.4–2 in) in diameter immediately below the root crown, but gradually attenuate with depth, and may be less than half a centimetre (0.2 in) wide just above the water table.This creates the effect of a cream inflorescence that progressively turns bright orange as anthesis sweeps through the inflorescence
Edited sentence: The dull green leaves are 15–27 cm (6–11 in) long, and 1–2 cm (⅓–⅔ in) wide, with dentate (toothed) leaf margins made up of triangular lobes, and often an undulate (wavy) surface.The old flower parts fall away after flowering finishes, revealing the axis, which may bear up to 60 embedded  follicles.The root system consists of a main sinker root, and up to ten lateral roots extending from a non-lignotuberous root crown.This creates the effect of a cream inflorescence that progressively turns bright orange as anthesis sweeps upwards through the inflorescence.Typically from 3–5 cm (1.4–2 in) in diameter immediately below the root crown, roots become gradually finer with depth, and may be less than half a centimetre (0.2 in) wide just above the water table
