Hi Giantsshoulders--

I see you've been doing some major editing to the Canna (plant) article. You note that there are two major (and somewhat differing) classifications of the genus. It would be very helpful if you could include publication citations of these two treatments in the article. MrDarwin 14:26, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Giantsshoulders 16:06, 5 September 2006 (UTC) Citations added to the main Canna article.

Thanks! I've worked on this article in the past but I don't have a copy of Tanaka's revision so I never edited any of the taxonomic part. One note though: I see you have also been editing the species articles, e.g., Canna indica. Please note that, unlike zoological names, the author citations for botanical names include the combining author as well as the basionym author, e.g.: Canna indica var. sanctae-rosae (Kraenzl.) Tanaka. You should be able to get the names from either IPNI or Tropicos. MrDarwin 16:23, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

--Giantsshoulders 13:09, 8 September 2006 (UTC) Thanks, I wasn't aware of the authors requirement, are they OK now?
