Chris, this is just a rough sketch. This article is going to be much larger than Leptotes as taxonomy and species are much more complicated, therefore don't loose your time correcting it as yet (unless you find anything awful, hehe). Dalton Holland Baptista 15:34, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the warning. I still have to work my way through leptotes. In general did you find those changes useful without changing the spirit of the article too much. In some places I felt i was a little too close to the wire with respect to changing the meaning. I see you made one correction already, which is good. Last night I was thinking a floral diagram might be useful, do you have one? If not I could draw one based on one of your photos. I think that would help a lot with the terminology.

  1. Yes Chris, I think your corrections are pretty good, feel free to correct everything your way. Despite my bad English I won't let anything less exact go thru. Actually it is fine if you cross the wire, that indicates that I have to explain better some topics as everyone should have an exact idea of what it means from the text. I am checking every change you make. It's a pity I can't make it sound normal in English, lol. It takes more than double time to write in English.
  2. I have been using this floral diagram for general purposes although I am not sure if we can use it here.
  3. I hoped there were more people working with botany in CZ, there are so many accesory articles to write about anatomy and morphology! I can provide photos of most structures as the articles are there. Dalton Holland Baptista 16:39, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
