Talk:Cistus

message: A reasonably good circumscription of the genus Cistus is given by Ellul et al. (2002). This source is not original - it claims the information is due to Dansereau (1939) and Greuter et al. (1984). But since I don't have the latter two available, I set the former as the source in the article. If someone has access to any of them and can verify the list - please do so, and change the reference accordingly. Iorsh 17:20, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Iorsh - Dansereau I don't know; from the article you cite, it is a 90 page monograph, but how reliable it is I don't know. Greuter et al. 1984 is the Med. Checklist, an authoritative checklist of the plants of the Mediterranean region, compiled from numerous sources and checked critically (i.e., they examined each listed taxon to determine acceptability). I've not seen the Cistus section of it, but have got other parts (the Pinophyta section). It is very reliable; if they say 19 species, I'll accept 19 species. As an aside, Greuter is probably Europe's (the world's?) most highly regarded living botanist. - MPF 18:03, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text:  So I shall meanwhile go with Ellul. If you have the chance to see Greuter, please verify the correctness of the species list and replace the reference. Unfortunately, my institution doesn't have it. (I myself never refer to sources I didn't read.) Iorsh 20:02, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I'll see if I can get hold of it, I seem to remember the local Uni library has it; in the meantime, I'm happy to go with Ellul - MPF 21:53, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Circumscription of ''Cistus'' 

message: The genus Cistus is well-known for its confused and confusing taxonomy, with very large numbers of synonyms. The number of species does seem to be settling down now, but it's important to use recent sources rather than old ones. I've revised the species list based on The Plant List plus a 2013 primary source for a few names. I've created articles for all the missing species in this list, and am currently expanding them from stubs. When I've finished, I intend to get back to this article and update it a bit more.

message: Cistus x icanus and others? makes a pretty tasty tea, tasting like oregano or marjoram, and its become somewhat popular. Would be useful to know which species are edible or toxic if there is any information on that. 90.247.229.178 (talk) 18:47, 2 April 2024 (UTC)
