thread_title:  Naming 

message: *This article is a bit too short, and therefore may not be as comprehensive as WP:WIAFA critera 2(b) is looking for. Please see if anything can be expanded upon. 
**Its too short for FA, most species article will be. Gnangarra 01:13, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  PR suggestion 

message: * The opening paragraph should briefly define B. menziesii, say what is interesting or unusually about it, and then very briefly summarise anything of interest in the rest of the article. Who it was named after should be moved to some other section.
* The "Description" section is good except that it includes some ecological notes such as flowering time and response to fire. These should be moved into an "Ecology" section. Ecology section should also include info from genus article (e.g. pollinated by birds primarily, also bees and mammals; vulnerable to dieback) but with a special emphasis on any ecological aspects unique to the species (e.g. it has an unusually low seed set).
* Distribution and habitat section is okay but perhaps a little short. Is there anything else to say?
* Cultivation section is okay, but should mention that it is slow-growing, has an unpredictable form, flowers in 6-10 years from seed, tolerates hard pruning.
* I still think the image placement is unsatisfactory, but i don't know what the solution is.
* I propose removing the "Subgenus", "Section" and "Series" entries from the taxobox, thus reclaiming some room on the right hand side. Instead, introduce a "Taxonomy" section that states what subgenus, section and series it is in. Taxonomy section would be an appropriate place to state after whom it is named (i.e. move this from introduction), when it was discovered, the fact that no species closely resembles it but B. speciosa is probably the closest relative.
I'll come back later to help with this. Snottygobble 04:48, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Distribution map 

message: Interesting to note that both B. attenuata and B.menziesii are currently in flower around jandakot A/P especially near the interesction of Roe Hwy and Kwinana Freeway. Both the red and the yellow menziesii varieties are in flower in this area. But this is all WP:OR stuff, I'll to photograph if you think its worth the effort. Gnangarra 14:24, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
