Ficaria verna bulbils

Hi Kenraiz! I have just uploaded some photos of Ficaria bulbils, including [this one]. I see you had done so too, a year or so ago. You have identified yours as Ficaria verna ssp. verna i.e. the type species. However, I believe that, according to Sell (1994), it is only two subspecies of F. verna that form bulbils, i.e. ssp. ficariiformis and ssp. bulbilifer. See this article for details. I can't distinguish between the two: consulting the key in this article, the distinguishing features between the two subspecies seem to be size (which I find varies considerably, even in the same cultivar, depending on the growing conditions and aspect).

About this picture, we (Halvard& me) think that this is the female of Lycaena tityrus, not L. virgaureae. --NicolasGrandjean (talk) 22:15, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Misidentification of Image:Medicago_lupulina_kz1.jpg

Hi Kenraiz,

Your photograph Image:Medicago_lupulina_kz1.jpg does not show Medicago lupulina but a Trifolium species. The flowers of Medicago lupulina look quite different (see e. g. Image:MedicagoLupulina.jpg) and the stalks of the individual flowers are very short so that the inflorescence looks more compact than an inflorescence of a similar Trifolium species. I added a remark in the index page and also in the image discussion page. I suggest that you move your image to Category:Unidentified_Trifolium and rename it accordingly.

opem być

Witam. Probówałem znaleźć email do Ciebie, ale chyba go nie podałeś w preferencjach pl.Wiki i piszę tu. Mimo wielu propozycji do Ciebie chciałbym ponowić prośbę byś rozważył otrzymanie przycisków na pl.Wiki. Twój wkład jest spory, jest regularny a bycie sysopem na pewno ułatwiłoby Ci pracę. Nie wiem czy wyobrażasz sobie pracę administratora jako osoby, która niesamowicie ciężko pracuje, ale to tylko wynika z nazwy tej funkcji. Bycie sysopem jest po prostu ułatwieniem twojej pracy na Wikipedii, która jest regularna i spora jak na resztę wikipedystów. Pragnę Ci przypomnieć słowa adminship is not big deal, a także aktywny i godny zaufania uczestnik projektu, który pomaga innym. Masz spory elektorat i zaufanie społeczności. To ty przedstawiałeś chłodne nastawienie i pomoc w moim początkach edytorskich jakimi były dyskusje PDA i PAnM. Chciałbym Ciebie zgłosić na PUA na pl.Wiki, jeśli uważasz że rekomendacja nie powinna wyjść ode mnie to ja już widzę las rąk. Przemyśl moje słowa i pamiętaj że bycie adminem ma Ci pomóc, a nie być twoim brzemieniem. Oferuję także swoją pomoc jeśli byś chciał. JDavid (talk) 12:04, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Tip: Categorizing images

---

Hello, Kenraiz!

Tip: Add categories to your files

Thanks a lot for contributing to the Wikimedia Commons! Here's a tip to make your uploads more useful: Why not add some categories to describe them? This will help more people to find and use them.

Here's how:

1) If you're using the UploadWizard, you can add categories to each file when you describe it. Just click "more options" for the file and add the categories which make sense:

2) You can also pick the file from your list of uploads, edit the file description page, and manually add the category code at the end of the page.

[[Category:Category name]]

For example, if you are uploading a diagram showing the orbits of comets, you add the following code:

[[Category:Astronomical diagrams]]

[[Category:Comets]]

This will make the diagram show up in the categories "Astronomical diagrams" and "Comets".

When picking categories, try to choose a specific category ("Astronomical diagrams") over a generic one ("Illustrations").

Thanks again for your uploads! More information about categorization can be found in Commons:Categories, and don't hesitate to leave a note on the help desk.

Could you please resolve this problem, adding the license in the image linked above? You can edit the description page and change the text. Uploading a new version of the file does not change the description of the file. This page may give you more hints on which license to choose. Thank you.

Autopatrol given

Hello. I just wanted to let you know that I have granted autopatrol rights to your account; the reason for this is that I believe you are sufficiently trustworthy and experienced to have your contributions automatically marked as "reviewed". This has no effect on your editing, it is simply intended to make it easier for users that are monitoring Recent changes or Recent uploads to find unproductive edits amidst the productive ones like yours. In addition, the Flickr upload feature and an increased number of batch-uploads in UploadWizard, uploading of freely licensed MP3 files, overwriting files uploaded by others and an increased limit for page renames per minute are now available to you. Thank you. odder (talk) 22:47, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Category:Jardín Botánico Canario Viera y Clavijo

Hi Kenraiz, for images taken in the Jardín Botánico Canario Viera y Clavijo, please use this category as well! -- Ies (talk) 15:34, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

I have hundreds pictures made there. To category Jardín Botánico I have put pictures which present views garden or somehow its specific parts. I do not think that photos only with plants and their parts are usefull in garden category. Especially that plant photos are not separated from photos which presents garden. Kenraiz (talk) 15:47, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

I'm afraid I have to disagree. On the contrary it's very informatic and useful to see what certain plant species are grown in a certain Botanical Garden. (Personally, I visited several Botanical Gardens only because I read or heared that for me interesting plants (succulent plants and Euphorbiaceae) are grown there.) Therefore I established Category:Plants in Jardín Botánico Canario Viera y Clavijo‎ and hope that you use it for all your images of plants taken there. Greetings, -- Ies (talk) 16:19, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

Armenia

Cześć!

Zauważyłem, że pisałeś gdzieś na Wikipedii, że wybierasz się w tym roku do Armenii. Dość dobrze zwiedziłem ten bardzo ciekawy kraj w roku 2014, więc jakbyś miał jakieś pytania co do podróży czy kraju, to śmiało pytaj, chętnie odpowiem i pomogę:) Pod tym adresem zaś znajdziesz wrzucane przeze mnie fotki z Armenii (jeszcze nie wszystkie wrzuciłem, na razie tkwię przy fotkach z Górskiego Karabachu): Category:Images of Armenia by Hons084 (Halavar) --Halavar (talk) 12:36, 27 March 2016 (UTC)

Mnie osobiście urzekły dwie prowincje, Jeghegnadzor i Sjunik, czyli południowo-wschodnie prowincje, ze wspaniałymi krajobrazami. W Azerbejdżanie (a więc też w Nachiczewanie) nie byłem, bo tam trzeba wizę, które bardzo trudno dostać. Azerowie strasznie utrudniają przez formalności wjazd do swojego kraju. Z kolei wjazd do Górskiego Karabachu jest bardzo prosty. Z miasta Goris odjeżdżają minibusy (marszrutki) do Stepanakertu. Na granicy, wysiadacie i dostajecie karteczkę wjazdu na teren Republiki Górskiego Karabachu, którą musisz zachować. Następnie w ciągu 3 dni musisz zgłosić się w Stepanakercie do tego budynku: File:2014 Stepanakert, Budynek Ministerstwa Spraw Zagranicznych Republiki Górskiego Karabachu (02).jpg czyli Ministerstwa Spraw Zagranicznych, wypełnić formularz wizowy, zapłacić 3000 AMD (za wizę do 10 dni) i poczekać kilkanaście minut. Możesz wybrać, czy chcesz mieć wklejoną wizę do paszportu (a więc dzięki temu nie wjedziesz już do Azerbejdżanu aż do końca ważności Twojego paszportu) czy też na osobnej kartce, którą po wyjeździe z Górskiego Karabachu możesz sobie zatrzymać na pamiątkę. Górski Karabach w zasadzie niczym nie różni się od Armenii. Jeśli lubisz przyrodę, to gorąco polecam jedyny znakowany w tym kraju pieszy szlak turystyczny Janapar Trail: http://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/#route?type=relation&id=3668100&map=11!39.7215!46.8448 (znakowałem go na OSM). Aha, jeśli nie znasz języka rosyjskiego, to polecam się poduczyć przez wyjazdem podstawowych zwrotów, bo z angielskim tam słabo (zarówno w Górskim Karabachu jak i Armenii, no może poza stolicą). Ludzie są bardzo mili, przyjaźni i pomocni, spędziłem tam 3 tygodnie i ani razu nie było najmniejszych nieprzyjemności. Armenia jest bardzo tania, tańsza niż Gruzja, więc pieniędzy zbyt dużo nie wydacie. Wszystko jest bardzo tanie, noclegi, przejazdy, wstępy, jedzenie i picie a to duży plus. Mam spisane różne ceny, więc jak coś cię interesuje, to mogę podać co ile kosztowało. Gdy będziesz w prowincji Sjunik to polecam spróbować oghi, czyli mocnej wódki robionej z owoców morwy, a więc z tego: File:2014 Górski Karabach, Klasztor Gandzasar, Morwa biała (02).jpg File:2014 Górski Karabach, Klasztor Gandzasar, Morwa biała (01).jpg.

Sedum spurium, Phedimus spurius or Sedum acre?

Hi Kenraiz,

You say that this is not Sedum acre, but Sedum spurium File:Saxifragales - Sedum spurium - 1.jpg; but it is now in the Phedimus spurius category. Why? Which is the accepted name, and which the synonym? What about this File:Sedum acre - Transylvania 1.jpg? The 2 pictures show the same sp. and even the same specimen. So the second picture also show Sedum spurium? Regards. DenesFeri (talk) 10:50, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

"Pinus wangii var. wilsonii" in the San Francisco Botanical Garden

Hi Ken - did the SF BG give any info on this? The name is not validly published, and the specimen in the photo is Pinus parviflora, not P. wangii. My guess is that the SF BG was given the plant by a nursery, and that the nursery invented a "new" plant as a sales tactic (i.e., the BG is a victim of advertising fraud by the nursery). - MPF (talk) 11:10, 31 December 2016 (UTC)

File renaming reason

Hello, you’ve requested the renaming of several files showing Paronychia argentea exemplars. I followed your requests, but you should in future be careful, which renaming reason you select. This time it was number 3 "error in filename", and this was clearly wrong. Instead you should have chosen reason number 2 "meaningless or ambiguous filename" or (this time even better, but I noticed it too late) reason number 1, because you have uploaded the files. (Side remark: If you want to add some files to this series of "Paronychia argentea kz…", start with number 14: For whatever reason you had left out no. 11, so I shifted the last 3 files one down.) — Speravir – 00:29, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Iberis sempervirens 'Schneeflocke' or Iberis sempervirens 'Snowflake'

Hello Kenraiz,

Bitte entschuldige, dass ich auf Deutsch schreibe. Aber wenn ich mit meinen schlechten Englischkentnissen Google-Translator nutze, dann kann es zu Missverständnissen führen.

Meine Fragen an Dich: Du hast die Kategorie Category:Iberis sempervirens 'Schneeflocke' angelegt. Ein Benutzer hat viele Bilder mit dem Namen 'Snowball' hochgeladen ([1]). Sind beide identisch ([2] und [3])? Welchen Namen würdest Du vorschlagen, den deutschen oder den englischen? Für den anderen wird dann natürlich eine Weiterleitung eingerichtet. Der Benutzer hat mehr als 34.000 Fotos von Pflanzen hochgeladen. Sehr, sehr viele Bilder von Pflanzensorten. Ich habe bisher die Sorten nur in vorhandene Kategorien einsortiert oder neue erstellt, wenn ich den Namen der Sorte in der wissenschaftlichen Literatur fand. Ansonsten habe ich die Fotos erst einmal in die Oberkategorien einsortiert (Art oder Gattung). Hast Du noch einen Hinweis für mich, wie man Pflanzensorten leichter finden kann? Vielen Dank im Voraus und mit freundlichen Grüßen, Hystrix (talk) 08:17, 10 August 2017 (UTC)

(Please excuse me for writing in German. But if I use Google Translator with my bad English skills, then it can lead to misunderstandings.

My questions to you: You have created the category Category:Iberis sempervirens 'Schneeflocke'. A user has uploaded many pictures with the name 'Snowball' ([4]). Are both identical ([5] and [6])? What name would you suggest the German or the English? For the other, of course, a redirect is established. The user has uploaded more than 34,000 photos of plants. Very, very many pictures of plant varieties. I have so far sorted the varieties only into existing categories or created new ones when I found the name of the variety in the scientific literature. Otherwise, I have the photos only once sorted into the top categories (species or genus). Do you still have a hint for me how to find plant cultivations easier? Thanks in advance and sincerely, Hystrix (talk) 08:17, 10 August 2017 (UTC))

Araucaria araucana subcategories

Hi @Kenraiz and Salicyna: - you recently created a number of new subcategories in Category:Araucaria araucana. This has unfortunately resulted in serious loss of important information, whereby all natural occurrence specimens were in the root category, and all cultivated specimens were in Category:Araucaria araucana (cultivated) or subcategories thereof. Your recategorising has wrecked this important separation, making it impossible for users to know whether a photo is of wild specimens or not, without detailed examination of the image text. Please undo this mess so that the natural and the cultivated are separated again. Thanks! - MPF (talk) 00:24, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

And ditto Araucaria heterophylla, and any other species categories to be messed up in this way - MPF (talk) 00:33, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

Cakile maritima

Hi Kenraiz - apologies for the miscategorisation of these 3! I'd assumed that all in the sequence File:Cakile maritima kz1.jpg - File:Cakile maritima kz9.jpg were part of one set all from the same location. It helps a lot if the file names include the location, then this wouldn't happen so easily ;-) MPF (talk) 00:53, 13 March 2018 (UTC)

However, these images cannot show Hippocrepis multisiliquosa, because the fruits of your species have their "holes" on the inner side of the arcs that the fruits form (the convex side), whereas real Hippocrepis multisiliquosa has the "holes" on the outer side (the concave side), see e.g. my photograph File:Hippocrepis multisiliquosa RF.jpg and also File:Horseshoe plant on Malta.jpg. I found this (in other words) both in the Flora Europaea and in a German language flora of Crete (Jahn/Schönfelder, Exkursionsflora für Kreta) and also got it explained to me by the botanist who told me the ID of my photograph in a German botany forum, https://forum.pflanzenbestimmung.de/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=36541 . So assuming that the species given at the site http://www.flora-of-cyprus.eu/ are complete, your plant must be Hippocrepis ciliata. The large papillae on the fruits also nicely match Hipocrepis ciliata, whereas Hippocrepis multisiliquosa should have small or no papillae on the fruits according to Flora Europaea. And this is something that might mean that the image of Hipocrepis multisiliquosa on http://www.flora-of-cyprus.eu/cdm_dataportal/taxon/98b7ba31-7e63-4483-b5ec-d73b65dd6352 might actually also show a different species. Anyway, your Hipocrepis was clearly misidentified and I am going to change this. If you do not disagree, we should also have the photographs renamed to avoid any confusion.

Hi Krzysztof - sadly, all your photos which you'd added at Cupressus atlantica are actually C. glabra, which is an invasive exotic species in Morocco. Note the thicker, more angular and more strongly glaucous shoots, and cones with just 6 scales (8-12 in C. atlantica); for the true species, compare here (pp. 78-96) and here. I'll reclassify & rename the photos shortly. - MPF (talk) 18:46, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

Thanks! Unfortunate that you missed the real thing; you need to go up the road to the Tizi-n-test pass, hope you get another opportunity. MPF (talk) 21:02, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

Not Watsonia coccinea but Hesperantha coccinea?

Hi Kenraiz, Your two files, Image:Watsonia_coccinea_kz1.jpg and Image:Watsonia_coccinea_kz2.jpg, uploaded on 24 December 2016, in my opinion depict Hesperantha coccinea (=Schizostylis coccinea). Have taken the liberty to move the two images to Hesperantha coccinea. If you agree with this identification, you may want to consider changing the file names as well. Best regards, SAplants (talk) 13:47, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Petasites frigidus

Dziękuję za identyfikację, zaraz poprawię. Pstrykam wszystko to, co mnie zaciekawi. W przypadku roślin czy owadów często mam duże problemy z identyfikacją, n.p. wierzby na Grenlandii, rośliny Alaski czy Spitsbergenu. Nie jestem też pewien identyfikacji roślin Krety (chociaż w tym przypadku dużą pomocą była grupa "Flowers of Crete'). Jeszcze raz dziękuję i pozdrawiam Jerzystrzelecki (talk) 16:45, 6 January 2019 (UTC)

Identity of "File:Watsonia stenosiphon kz1.jpg"

Hi Kenraiz, On 30 December 2017 you uploaded an image of a pink-flowered member of Watsonia (Iridaceae) taken in the Auckland Botanic Gardens, and filed it under Watsonia stenosiphon. This is an obvious misidentification, presumably based on (as unfortunately is so often the case) an incorrect label in the garden. Watsonia stenosiphon is a relatively small plant with bright orange flowers. The pink-flowered watsonias are particularly difficult to identify from photographs, a task made even more difficult by the existence of garden cultivars. However, I suspect your plant may well be a form of the widely grown Watsonia borbonica (= W. pyramidata). You may want to use the latter name for the image, or move it to Unidentified Watsonia. Best regards, SAplants (talk) 07:24, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

Re: Category:Rubus schmidelioides

Faktycznie wygląda jak Phyllocladus alpinus, który dziś dodawałem z innej lokalizacji :) Poprawił opis i kategorię, no i zgłosiłem nazwę pliku do zmiany. Szczerze ze zdjęć roślin nie jestem zadowolony, szczególnie z tych robionych z bliska, gdzie ważne jest ukazanie detali. Z kolei Twoje zdjęcia wyszły znakomicie!

Postanowiłem sobie, że w końcu prześlę wszystkie zdjęcia z Nowej Zelandii; zostało mi się jeszcze kilka dni... Przy oznaczaniu gatunków często wzoruję się na twoich zdjęciach, ale i tak sporo fotek roślin chyba nie uda się ustalić. Tournasol7 (talk) 23:53, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Re: Siewki

Cześć, rzeczywiście ogród wrocławski jest świetny, odwiedzam go od lat, a nadal znajduję coś nowego. Wybieram się niedługo do Bratysławy i mam nadzieję odwiedzić tamten ogród. O podręczniku w Wikibooks wiem, zauwżyłam pojawiające się podkategorie ze zdjęciami siewek i trafiłam po wykorzystaniu plików. Świetny pomysł, bo pokazuje etap wzrostu, którego praktycznie nie ma w typowych atlasach roślin. Będę pamiętać i zwrócę uwagę także na siewki podczas wizyt w ogrodzie. Na pewno przyda się żebyś miał ten mój wkład na oku, bo nie mam "opatrzonej" tej formy, a na tabliczkach zdarzaja się błędy. Pozdrawiam, Nova (talk) 06:55, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi, I did Category:Baum 12 to Aesculus parviflora]] Baummapper (talk) 16:51,

Krzysztofie! W odpowiedzi na Twoją wiadomość skierowaną bezpośrednio do mnie i zarzuty, że niewłaściwie wykorzystuję Wikimedię oraz że moje fotki są nieużyteczne i niepotrzebnie zajmują czas zarówno mnie jak i innym, chciałbym Ci także coś napisać. Z tego co wiem jesteś człowiekiem po studiach, masz dość wysoką pozycję społeczną a także stać Cię na drogi sprzęt fotograficzny. Zdecydowanie brak Ci jednak wyrozumiałości i szacunku dla pasji innych osób zajmujących się fotografią. Obejrzałem dużo Twoich dzieł imam mieszane uczucia. Twoje zdjęcia są wspaniałe technicznie i za to masz u mnie plus! Są one jednak bardzo monotematyczne i za wyjątkiem niewielkiej grupy miłośników przyrody nie cieszą się wielkim zainteresowaniem. Weź to pod uwagę, zanim zaczniesz krytykować innych. Moje prace są skromne technicznie lecz w bardzo dużej ilości są wykorzystywane do ilustrowania wielu miejscowości w Polsce i za granicą. Mnie najbardziej interesuje turystyka i kolejnictwo i temu poświęcam czas oraz swój lichy sprzęt. Nigdy na forum nie krytykuję czyichś prac, nawet kiedy mi się nie podobają. Widziałem wiele autentycznych "gniotów" i jakoś nie przyszło mi na myśl aby je wyśmiewać. Rozumiem, że każdy z nas ma inne upodobania i możliwości. Dla mnie liczy się pasja i chęć pokazania innym swoich zainteresowań. Ja jestem człowiekiem 73-letnim i mocno schorowanym. Jestem także mniej majętny od Ciebie. Ciebie stać na wycieczki po świecie a mnie co najwyżej po Polsce i Europie i to tylko tanimi liniami lotniczymi. Trudno mi poruszać się w internecie i dlatego mam kłopot z kategoryzowaniem i szczegółowym opisem zdjęć. Cieszy mnie jednak każda moja fotka, którą zobaczę w Wikipedii a jest ich naprawdę bardzo dużo. Sporo moich zdjęć zostało usuniętych przez społeczność ale jest to maleńki procent w stosunku do ich ilości. Z Twoimi zdjęciami jest podobnie! Na koniec chciałbym życzyć Ci większej empatii. Pozdrawiam Cię serdecznie! Antekbojar

Location?

Hi Kenraiz - do you have a more detailed location for File:Juniperus cedrus kz5.JPG, please? In particular, was it of a natural wild specimen, or a cultivated plant? Thanks! - MPF (talk) 22:20, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Hi, I have added some more detailed information about location of specimen. I am not sure whether it was cultivated specimen or not - there was a mixture of some ornamental shrubs (different species) close to the path and wild on slopes of hill. It is native species there. Kenraiz (talk) 22:38, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Excellent, thanks! At that altitude (630 m), it will be cultivated; the species occurs naturally only at higher altitudes (mostly around 2,000-2,200 m, rarely down to about 1,000 m). I had hoped you might have taken the photo higher above El Tanque, rather than below :-) - MPF (talk) 22:49, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Sortkey usage and DEFAULTSORT

Hello, and first off, thank you for helping out with the rose cultivars! It's a huge mess to manage, almost as much work as an actual rose garden. I noticed you'd added some sortkeys that aren't up to code. Fortunately, it's a small thing that's easy to fix.

• Sortkeys shall have no diacritics, ligatures, or punctiation--naked letters only

• Þórsmörk -> Thorsmork
• æ -> ae

• {{DEFAULTSORT}} sets a default sortkey which will be used for all categories that don't have an individual sortkey. The template goes above the categories in site code.

• e.g. François Fancyboy Poshington-Plentyofwealth III -> {{DEFAULTSORT:Poshington Plentyofwealth, Francois Fancyboy 3}}
• or Rosa 'Honeycakes '89' -> {{DEFAULTSORT:Honeycakes 89}}
• or Rosa 'Darling' (1966) -> {{DEFAULTSORT:Darling 1966}}.

Most importantly: naked letters for sortkeys! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me anything on my talkpage or {{Ping}} me in a discussion elsewhere. I'm not always active, but I check Commons almost daily.

Begonia brachypoda ?

Hi Kenraiz. It looks like there has been a confusion of species in Botanischen Garten Berlin. The files in Category:Begonia brachypoda are very different from the original description : too many flowers and much bigger leaves. I happens that labels are mixed up. Do you have a possibility to go back to the place and ask for an explanation ? --Begalma (talk) 21:21, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

You have right - the plants does not match the description of species. I wish I will be there again in this year, so I will try to find somebody to ask about it. Kenraiz (talk) 21:41, 9 February 2022 (UTC)

Tetragonia tetragonioides czy tetragonoides?

Hej, znalazłam to Twoje zdjęcie z ogrodu wrocławskiego, opisane jako Tetragonia tetragonioides, zgodnie zresztą z plakietką w ogrodzie, kategoria też jest pod tą nazwą. Z kolei nazwy Tetragonia tetragonoides używa: Wikispecies, systematyka w kategorii Category:Tetragonia czy POWO. W artykułach w Wikipedii jest różnie. Która nazwa jest właściwa? Nova (talk) 16:35, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

Dzięki. Zgłosiłam na kontakt POWO, może poprawią. U nas też praktycznie wszystko do poprawy :-( Nova (talk) 17:08, 8 June 2022 (UTC)

Hej, odesłali mnie do ICN Art 60.EX 39 https://www.iapt-taxon.org/nomen/main.php gdzie stoi: "Ex. 39. Tetragonia tetragonoides (Pall.) Kuntze (Revis. Gen. Pl. 1: 264. 1891) was based on Demidovia tetragonoides Pall. (Enum. Hort. Demidof: 150. 1781), the specific epithet of which was derived from the generic name Tetragonia and the suffix ‑oides. Because this is a compound epithet derived from a noun and a suffix, not two Greek or Latin words, it is not to be altered to ‘tetragonioides’." Nova (talk) 16:24, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

No to trochę nie na temat odpowiedzieli, jakby nie zauważyli, że Kuntze opublikował nazwę tetragoniodes, a nie tetragonoides (jak w cytacie wyżej). Pewnie zrobił literówkę, ale wypadałoby ją odnotować przy uściśleniu nazwy. Tak czy siak, obowiązuje zacytowana wykładnia Kodeksu. Kenraiz (talk) 16:41, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

Solanum vs. Jaltomata

Hej, znalazłam kilka Twoich zdjęć Solanum scabrum, np. File:Solanum scabrum kz04.jpg i zastanowiło mnie czy z kolei kilka moich starszych nie jest źle sklasyfikowanych jako Jaltomata procumbens, np. File:Jaltomata procumbens Jaltomata rozesłana 2018-09-02 01.jpg. Na tabliczce z OB UWr mam Jaltomata procumbens, ale znalazłam też moje nowsze zdjęcia i owoce są bardziej podobne do tego. Jak sądzisz? Pozdrawiam, Nova (talk) 07:30, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

Dzięki za potwierdzenie. Wrzuciłam niezbyt dobre, ale faktyczne zdjęcia jaltomaty, np. to. Zawnioskuję o zmianę nazwy tych poprzednich. Nova (talk) 10:20, 17 September 2022 (UTC)

Sedum griseum ?

Hi Kenraiz. I've seen your photo Sedum griseum kz01 and I think, a Sedum I found on my green roof could be the same. Would you agree? Greetings from Ruhland --Wilhelm Zimmerling PAR (talk) 06:52, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi @Wilhelm Zimmerling PAR: . Yes, it looks like the same species and, as I see in Google, this species is used in green roofs. Kenraiz (talk) 13:14, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

Thank you, whish you to have a good week --Wilhelm Zimmerling PAR (talk) 18:44, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

But I have an additional question: have you found any trade or common name? (I've seen somewhat like spanish wallpepper = Sedum hispanicum, which imho could not be perennial; beside this I've found only names for similiar looking plants, hybrids, predicted as blooming pink). --Wilhelm Zimmerling PAR (talk) 20:48, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

@Wilhelm Zimmerling PAR: , you have right. Sedum griseum looks different. I am not sure which species was wrongly labelled in botanical garden in Gottingen so I removed my photos to "unidentified Sedum". In description I added that it is probably S. hispanicum. Kenraiz (talk) 18:31, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

Hello, unless that this was not my goal, S. hispanicum (in my honest opinion) not fits your, my and the cited photos. I found the species S. hispanicum here, too, and it grows from seedlings and was blooming in the second year, and never it was perennial. The unfortunately mentioned "trade names" with reference to this species seem to be wrong, anyway. S. hispanicum is unuseful for green roofs - if merchants declare here plants so (as I found), it must be false. My citations of pink blooming hybrids can't be whether be your, nor my photos - they where the only names I found and therefor I asked for your Google-discoveries.

And my question mark means my (not your) photos. We have photos from two botanical gardens, looking different, and don't know, if it is the same species or, what is the right. We don't have photos of blooming S. griseum here (accept yours).

In Göttingen are

• • • an "Old botanical garden"
    • an "Forest-botanical garden"
    • an "Experimental botanical garden"

I think your photos are taken in the first named, aren't they? So I can ask there and hope for clearance (if not you have a better contact there, from a photo permission, e.g.).

And: What names and may be photos, especial blooming, have you found used as "S. griseum" for green roofs? Best regards --Wilhelm Zimmerling PAR (talk) 22:21, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

• @Wilhelm Zimmerling PAR: The photos were taken in glasshouse in Neuer Botanischer Garten der Universität Göttingen (Experimental botanical garden). Kenraiz (talk) 22:25, 29 June 2023 (UTC)

Важливо! Через російське вторгнення в Україну також довелося змінити умови: у більшості випадків тільки роботи зняті до 30 червня 2023 року включно будуть прийматися на конкурс.

Приєднуйтеся!

Caucalis platycarpos vs. Orlaya daucoides

Hej, mam kilka zdjęć z OB UWr z tabliczką Caucalis platycarpos L., ale przy próbie weryfikacji czy jest to poprawne oznaczenie natknęłam się na Orlaya daucoides, wydzielone z C.p. W PoWO są dwa rekordy C.p. L., jeden zaakceptowany, drugi niepoprawny uznany za synonim O.d. Równocześnie ilustracja, która na Commons jest w kategorii C.p., w PoWO jest w rekordzie O.d. ... Obie kategorie na Commons zawierają zdjęcia, jedna także ilustracje botaniczne, ale przy tym zamieszaniu i historii tych taksonów, kategoryzacja staje się mało wiarygodna. Czy znasz źródło podające cechy, po których można je rozróżnić, lub jakieś wiarygodne ilustracje/zdjęcia do porównania w nowym ujęciu? Nova (talk) 11:08, 1 October 2023 (UTC)

Dear uploader of European Science Photo Competition 2015 and Wiki Science Competition 2017, Wiki Science Competition 2019 and Wiki Science Competition 2021, we would like to remind you that Wiki Science Competition 2023 has started in almost all the countries.

If you want to take part in WSC2023, please consult this page. Only some national categories are associated to competitions with local prizes.

If you are an expert user, we remind you that images uploaded within the deadline can be included in any case in their national category even if not uploaded with the main interface.

If you already took part in a country that has completed its upload phase (such as Russia), please consider improving the description in English of your files (click on the edit button), since such description is what the international jury will use to evaluate them. World finalists will be finalized after March 2024.

Sorry for bothering you and have a nice wiki.

Rosa 'Mevrouw Henri Daendels'

Rosa 'Mevrouw Henri Daendels'

Hi Kenraiz,

For the article G.A.H. Buisman & Zoon in the Dutch Wikipedia, I used rose photos of yours. With the photo of Rosa 'Mevrouw Henri Daendels' it seems to me that the photo is rotated 90 degrees. Is that correct, could you have a look at that?

Lonicera periclymenum

good day.does this lonicera it grow in greece and turkey? Thank you for answer in advance 5.197.252.46 13:38, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

i mean does lonicera periclymenum grow in wild nature? Are greece and turkey native range of this plant? 5.197.252.46 13:55, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

It is easy to check on the site POWO. In Greece yes – is native (but only in the most NW part [8]), in Turkey not. The more common are L. etrusca and L. caprifolium there. Kenraiz (talk) 14:22, 19 February 2024 (UTC)

Lycium depressum

The images in this name are incorrect. The plant in the picture is not Lycium depressum Ariesaada (talk) 06:37, 25 April 2024 (UTC)

@Ariesaada: Thanks. It was labeled as Lycium depressum but in fact it is not similar to pictures of species from natural stands. Maybe it was mistake made by botanical garden staff. I do not exclude that identification is correct but plant does not look typically because of influence of different (fertile) habitat and climate. I have removed pictures to 'Unidentified Lycium' folder. Kenraiz (talk) 07:18, 25 April 2024 (UTC)
