Research conventions

If you have found new information about a plant on the internet or in a book, please list this reference at the bottom of the page. Also, please remember to put this information in your own words! Knowledge is free, but to avoid a brush with the dreaded copyright monster we need to give credit where it's due! If this information is your own original research through word of mouth interviews, etc. then no references are necessary. It is recommended that you list it as your own work, however.
