Plagiarism edit

I have removed recently added material which amounts to plagiarism. As just one example, the article said "Branchlets yellow-white initially but soon grayed, slender, glabrous, warty, lenticellate, with distinctive leaf scars; young ones more or less angled". The source given in the reference following this text had "Branchlets yellow-white initially but soon grayed, slender, glabrous, warty, lenticellate, with distinctive leaf scars; young ones ± angled".

Copying from a copyright source is plagiarism and is not allowed. The source must be paraphrased (and not too closely either). Peter coxhead (talk) 21:00, 19 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
