I just edited the way this shows up in the category "Pinus." It had been set up to alphabetize there under the common name, "Canary Island Pine." But this didn't make sense since it showed on the list with the binomial (scientific) name. So I changed it to realphabetize it that way. But I added the Redirect page to the Category. So now, the common name does show. 140.147.236.194 (talk) 15:39, 9 April 2010 (UTC)Stephen KoscieszaReply

@Elwood P. Dowd: I removed the text

"It was first described by Robert Sweet in 1825.[1]"

because all the major taxonomic databases I've looked at, starting with the International Plant Names Index and including Tropicos, say "C.Sm. ex D.C.", so the American Conifer Society seems to be the odd one out. Peter coxhead (talk) 07:00, 26 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
