Talk:List of basil cultivars

message: #"This list of basil cultivars is a list of cultivated basil varieties." is more explicitly stated as "This list of basil cultivars is a comprehensive list of cultivated varieties (cultivars) of basal. 
#Don't title a table with the abbreviation of the scientific name.  Should be Ocimum not O..
#This is all over the place, "The exact taxonomic classification of varieties of basil is particularly challenging. This is because basil cross-breeds easily, and drawing boundaries between species is particularly difficult. In fact, recent studies have led to reclassification of some portions of the genus.[4]"  Are you talking about taxonomic difficulties with varieties, or hybrids, or species, or cultivars?  Be explicit, this is a list of cultivars and a discussion of taxonomy should be restricted to any difficulties with the species used in the cultivars only.
#"Vary" and "varies" is overused, although since it is a list of cultivars, you might argue against me on this.
#"Visually, the size of the leaves varies greatly, from the lettuce-like leaves of the Mammoth basil and Lettuce leaf basil to the tiny leaves of the Dwarf bush basil."  "Lettuce-like" isn't precisely and indicator of size, do you mean "lettuce-sized leaves" or "large lettuce-like leaves?"
#Tie the mention of the varying amount and type of fragrance directly into its usage as an herb.
#The quantity of essential oils is not particularly needed for this article, and this comment rather begs questions about what the percentage of essential oils in other plants is by comparison, is it high or low in basil?  I would think it would be rather high.
#The pictures could be smaller, imo.  Good choice, though.
It's a rather useful, nicely done, well commented list overall, and would make a respectable FL, imo.

message: Is the species name correct for lemon/lime basil?  The lemon basil article shows the species name is citriodorum, but this article lists the species as americanum.  Which is correct?  --Jp07 (talk) 00:23, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There are multiple types of lemon basil, including Ocimum × citriodorum and Ocimum americanum as well as some cultivars of Ocimum basilicum. unfortunately, it's not always possible to tell which type a particular cultivar belongs to, because many sources are confused or outright wrong.
