When adding any material or information, please add a reference to the source at the relevant spot, by adding the name or link of a source in between the reference tags like this: <nowiki><ref>Name of book or URL</ref></nowiki>.  It will automatically be referenced in the reference section of the page.  If you do not include this reference, your material can be immediately removed as unreliable.  Your first-hand knowledge or experience with plants can be added in the comments section below an article, where it will not be confused with the reference article text itself.
