Talk:Cornus canadensis

message: The article currently states that "The bunchberry has the fastest plant action found so far".  Looking at Taylor PE et. al. (2006) 'High-speed pollen release in the white mulberry tree, Morus alba L' in the journal Sexual Plant Reproduction (http://www.springerlink.com/link.asp?id=75144776908t3624), it seems that the mulberry is faster.  I edited the article accordingly to "The bunchberry has the second fastest plant action found so far" but my change was reverted.  I will leave it up to someone who is more knowledegable about plants than me to make the decision whether to restore the edit. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.111.8.104 (talk • contribs) .
:How about "The bunchberry exhibits one of the fastest plant actions found yet"?  That way it's slightly ambiguous and still more or less correct.  I think the person who reverted it simply saw an IP-only contributer who failed to comment about their edit and had a bit of a knee-jerk reaction.
:Another thing is that the Rapid plant movement article does not cite the source of its information while this one does, so it wouldn't be a good idea to assume the other article is 100% correct.  However, having the two articles conflict with each other isn't all that great either, which is why "one of the fastest" sounds good to me, even if it doesn't explicitly say how fast in relation to other plants.  I'm not a botanist nor do I follow any publications or journals relating to the discipline, so perhaps some newer study has been done since the publication cited in this article? — Indi [ talk ] 14:49, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: D'oh.  I need to sit back and read before I write.  It would be best to cite that journal you listed in the Rapid plant movement article. =) — Indi [ talk ] 15:04, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Fastest Plant Action?

message: This "experiences 800 times the force of the space shuttle during liftoff" seems a bit incredible. Could someone perhaps find a source for this? 68.48.230.98 05:33, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Source?

message: I am assuming that the name 'Canadian dwarf cornel' is a common name somewhere, but not (as far as I'm aware) in Canada.  Here, I have only seen it referred to as 'Canada/Canadian bunchberry', or more simply, 'Bunchberry.'
I would like to propose to move this article to "Canada Bunchberry," but I'd like to hear some feedback first.  --chris 19:22, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
