== Expansion and upgrade ==
This page has the potential for upgrading to GA. Both Danish and German versions are at GA standard (see main page). I also placed aA couple of other well well written pages which are worth looking at, in expansion tabsare onFrench thisand pageSpanish. --[[User:Michael Goodyear|Michael Goodyear]] ([[User talk:Michael Goodyear|talk]]) 18:28, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
 
==Veins==
it seems like veins is a large enough subject for its own page? <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">—&nbsp;Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Greg.collver|Greg.collver]] ([[User talk:Greg.collver#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Greg.collver|contribs]]) 15:26, 9 November 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

== Importance of leaves overstated ==
The article states "Leaves are the most important organs of a plant". That is an inaccurate statement coming from a leaf-centred POV, rather like saying feet are the most important organs of an animal. Some plants have never had leaves (e.g. liverworts) and others which evolved from ancestors with leaves have lost them again (e.g. Equisetum, Ephedra, cacti and many more).

== Broken sentence: Bulbine ==
 
The article currently reads, "Some window plants such as Fenestraria species and some Haworthia species such as Haworthia tesselata and Haworthia truncata are examples of xerophytes.[12] and Bulbine mesembryanthemoides.[13]" I clicked through to the Bulbine article, but it isn't clear whether it would be a "window plant." Anyone know what was intended here? [[User:IAmNitpicking|IAmNitpicking]] ([[User talk:IAmNitpicking|talk]]) 19:35, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
:It is a window plant. Try Googling it. [[user:Plantsurfer|<span style="background-color:green;color:cyan">Plant</span><span style="background-color:cyan;color:blue;">surfer</span>]] 19:40, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
::I've never encountered the phrase "window plant" before today. In any case, you're saying that the errant phrase belongs before the "are"? [[User:IAmNitpicking|IAmNitpicking]] ([[User talk:IAmNitpicking|talk]]) 20:22, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
 
== Disruptive edits ==
 
Do editors think the repeated disruptive edits by Sanarth Patil rise to the level of a ban request? [[User:IAmNitpicking|IAmNitpicking]] ([[User talk:IAmNitpicking|talk]]) 15:49, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

Some about plants leaves [[Special:Contributions/106.210.41.110|106.210.41.110]] ([[User talk:106.210.41.110|talk]]) 11:48, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
 
== Short description ==
 
Leaves are specialized photosynthetic parts of a plant, but they are not (as the current short description implies) the only such parts. Note that many plants (e. g. most cacti, asparagus) have no or very reduced photosynthetic leaves and conduct all their photosynthesis in stems. I probably should "Be bold" and just change it, but I've never touched the short description and thought it wouldn't hurt to ask.

== Compound leaf ==
 
Lately I've been looking at the three pages [[Leaflet (botany)]], [[Compound leaf]] (which redirects to [[Leaf#Divisions_of_the_blade]]), and [[Leaf]] with a view to provide more detailed info about compound leaves. In my view neither the "Leaflet" nor the "Leaf" page provide a good explanation of compound leaves. I am proposing to remove the redirect and create an actual article at "Compound leaf" (which will cover the concept of "leaflet"), and redirect "Leaflet (Botany)" to it. I welcome any input that others may have about this idea. This message appears on the other two pages as well. <span style="padding:2px;font-family:Arial;background:yellow;border:solid 1px #aa0000;border-radius:3px;">&nbsp;[[User:Junglenut|Junglenut]]&nbsp;&#124;[[User talk:Junglenut |Talk]]</span>&nbsp; 11:35, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
 
== Diagram of a simple leaf image ==
 
The image labelled "Diagram of a simple leaf" has a caption listing the parts of the leaf, corresponding to the circled numbers affixed to parts of the leaf pictured in the diagram. There are 8 numbered parts, in the list, including #6, Petiole, but the diagram has no #6. It should be to the right of the #7 and twig stem, with an arrow and a bracket pointing to indicate the leaf stalk. Can someone fix this?
