The new title is misleading--the hazardous part is not the raceme. Any suggestions for a more descriptive title?--Curtis Clark 21:07, 15 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Diaspore

edit

This article needs to define the term diaspore, a technical word used in the title of the article, within the article, probably in the first paragraph. --KP Botany (talk) 20:18, 5 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

That works well, Curtis. Also, although it's wikilinked in the first line, I think leaving in the see also to diaspore is appropriate with this article. --KP Botany (talk) 21:48, 5 January 2009 (UTC)Reply
I worked on it some more, somewhat separating the diaspore from grasses called "foxtail"; more separation is needed. --Una Smith (talk) 00:58, 6 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

General or specific term

edit

The term foxtail seems to be used as a general term and that might confuse people. The Encyclopædia Britannica says it is in the genera Alopecurus and Setaria of the family Poaceae but I do not know what that means. I assume that that definition excludes some of the plants listed in this article. Sam Tomato (talk) 03:41, 10 May 2023 (UTC)Reply
