Possible page move

It seems to me that the page should possibly be moved to have a title that is the same as the first word of the article. This page would then redirect there, and would make this article more accessible. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 00:31, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good suggestion! I just moved it from Tephrosia purpurea to Auhuhu. If you've got any more suggestions, I'm pretty inexperienced, so I'll be happy to listen. Indeterminate 05:36, 25 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:NC (flora), the article should be titled at the species name. --Rkitko ^(talk) 13:22, 26 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Initial comments

Lead

Just to clear something up (this is not an issue with the article itself): "found in the Middle East in areas such as Egypt and Sudan, Yemen, Oman and the United Arab Emirates" - the Middle East is a region or area, but Egypt, Sudan, Yemen and so on are countries?
The lead complies per WP:LEAD and the GA criteria. The above question isn't really a concern!

Description

Honestly I see no problems here. The prose is excellent and there are no points to make - references are in the correct places so this section meets the GA criteria.

Toxicity

Again - nothing. Every reference is correct and well placed. Prose is excellent and is GA-standard.

Close - promoted

You know, for a plant it is as comprehensive as it can possibly be. I'm very impressed by the number of reference this has for such a small article, and because it is such a small article there are no copyediting issues at all (something which I only focus on). I'll promote this immaterially. Tephrosia apollinea has made history as one of the shortest Good Articles out there (and probably not to mention one of the shortest GARs)! Well done on all the work! ☠ Jaguar ☠ 16:22, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merge of Tephrosia apollinea into Tephrosia purpurea

T. apollinea is now treated as a ssp. of T. purpurea by PoWO, WFO, and CoL (ILDIS is no longer available, but it was feeding info to CoL before its search engine expired). Tropicos lists both names, without stating which one is accepted. The taxonomy has been discussed at Tephrosia apollinea before (in 2014) but should now be reviewed.
