message: "The Kayenta also smoke it or take it internally for insanity."
There are no such people as the Kayenta. Kayenta is the name of a town in Arizona on the Navajo Nation that the local Diné (Navajo) people, my neighbors, call Tó Dínéeshzhee'. Anyone could have found that out by searching the word "Kayenta" instead of ignorantly assuming it was the name of a group. I came here looking for useful information on a local plant, and instead found an exceptional example of lazy editting. Logos spermatikos (talk) 22:04, 27 May 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: Image not an Ostrich Fern

message: "... , so named for the large spore bearing structures resembling ostrich feathers"
This claim implied that the specific epithet, struthiopteris, was based on the resemblance of the sporangia (spore-bearing structures) to ostrich feathers.  No source was cited, and the claim conflicted with what is written in the "Description" section, in which it is explained that the common name, "ostrich fern", is based on the resemblance of the sterile fronds to ostrich plumes.
I have found and added a reliable source for the "sterile fronds" explanation, and removed the conflicting "sporangia" claim.

Talk:Salvinia

message: Salvinia  is classified as a category 3 pest plant under Queensland's Biosecurity Act 2014, and it has a Weeds of National Significance status. This means landholders, including the City of Gold Coast, must take steps to keep their land and water free of this plant. There is a fine for non-compliance.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:E422:3C01:3190:D092:A40C:65BE (talk) 06:55, 4 January 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Further "economic impact" in the state of Queensland, Australia 

message: The salvinia weevil (Cyrtobagous salviniae) was discovered by the CSIRO in 1979. It originates from the same native range in Brazil as salvinia. The adult weevils feed on the salvinia plant, but most damage is done by the larvae, which tunnels into the plant's stem (rhizome). This causes the plant to turn brown, lose buoyancy and sink.
Weevils can control mats of salvinia within a month, but the plant's regrowth can continue for up to 3 years. Weevils need time to increase their population to a size where they are eating the salvinia quicker than it can grow. As the plant is eaten, their numbers decrease allowing salvinia to regrow. This is then followed by an increase in the weevil numbers. This cycle continues until the salvinia and weevils reach an equilibrium.
Extensive testing was completed to ensure the weevil was not going to affect other species before being released. As part of our integrated approach, weevil infestation levels are monitored and we mechanically remove salvinia if it is growing too fast. Removing damaged salvinia is done before it decomposes and has a negative impact on water quality.

message: Under “Cultivation” it is stated that “Osmunda plants should be planted in highly acidic, moist soil, …”.  
The reference given for this, “BBC Gardeners’ World Magazine” (incidentally, “magazine” is incorrectly spelt with a double “z”), recommends only “preferably acid soil”.  Another reference given, “RHS Plant Selector”, although not specifically for soil pH, does recommend the soil pH as “Acid, Alkaline, Neutral”.
Osmunda regalis is tolerant  of a range of soil pH, so the suggestion it should be planted in “highly acidic” soil is misleading, although damp soil is a requirement.

message: "Seasoned royal fern is also used in the dish Namul in Korean royal court cuisine".
There is no citation for the above claim.  Plants of the World Online indicates that O. regalis is not native to Korea, and the nearest country to which it is native is Iran, so it would be unusual if O. regalis were used in Korean cuisine.  The species of Osmunda that is native to Korea is O. japonica (Korean: 고비 or gobi), which is an ingredient of Namul.
The claim was probably taken from the page Korean royal court cuisine, where one of the typical vegetables of Namul is named as "royal fern".

Talk:Polystichum

message: This article about fern genus Polystichum may certainly be improved a lot, nevertheless i liked to say thanks to it's creator and coeditors!
Not being experienced in editing i do prefer to add suggestions for corrections and improvements here at talk page before changing the article myself.
1, at chapter "Former species" the binomen Polystichum auriculatum (L) C.Presl is given as (apparently accepted) synonym of Dryopteris auriculata (L) Kuntze.
In fact both taxonomic combinations are most likely to be treated as synonyms to accepted Nephrolepis cordifolia (L) C.Presl, the so called "Tuber ladder fern", following Flora of China vol.2-3, 2013, which is cited as source at web-references "The Plant List" and "Tropicos".
http://efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=233500798
Consequently P. auriculatum is to be cited as outdated synonym to N. cordifolia and the source has to be changed.
2, at chapter "Former species" binomen Polystichum lepidocaulon (Hook.) J.Sm. is given as (apparently accepted) Cyrtomidictyum lepidocaulon (Hook.) Ching.
Once again both websites, "The Plant list" plus "Tropicos" are incorrect, having common source of information "Flora of China vol. 2-3, 2013", but are contradicting by ignoring the fact that Cyrtomidictyum is integrated within Polystichum at source.
http://efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=242340580
Consequently Polystichum lepidocaulon was not to be displayed as former species of Polystichum, but better remarked that there are different opinions and treatments as the taxonomic combination into separate genus Cyrtomidictyum.
The concerning link should be changed.
