Internal link to web

[edit]

The web link in this article refers to a Disambiguation page, but I cannot figure out what the meaning of web in this context is. Can an expert help here? Camster342 17:55 30 May 2003 (UTC)

According to the Cambridge Glossary, cited as a source for this article, a corymb has the branching structure of a simple raceme not a panicle. It seems to me it would be more logical to include it in the article for raceme rather than here. Thoughts? Seanmcdill (talk) 01:53, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agree; it's a problem. The Maloideae that are mentioned here are generally said to have corymbose inflorescences rather than actual corymbs. Perhaps there should be a page about corymbs and corymbose structures, rather than trying to jam them in with either the raceme or the panicle.

There's been an orphaned article at corymboid for years, while corymb has tons of incoming links and retargets here. There were several other redirect with links (corymbs, corymbose, corymbiform). I've started a crappy stub at corymb with everything else redirecting there. Plantdrew (talk) 03:43, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have taken the use as a name section out, because it does not belong on this page, the etymology may be readded with reliable sourcing, but the ad hock list of plants that have a derivation of panicle somewhere in the name fall under wp:cruft. Those names should be discussed on those articles, and a wikilink to panicle given there.--Kevmin § 16:19, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology and use as an epithet would be appropriate to mention. Agree that a list of examples is not needed. If examples are to be given, they should be cases where a paniculate inflorescence distinguishes a species from most other members of the genus. Plantdrew (talk) 16:44, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Why is a list of examples not needed? I think it's very encyclopedic, and interesting, to include a list of examples of plant names which have paniculatus as the specific epithet.

I'm baffled that you guys want to exclude some information and images which are perfectly appropriate to the subject. Darorcilmir (talk) 20:14, 18 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Providing an example is useful as Plantdrew notes, but leaving a random uncurated list does not improve the article. --Kevmin § 17:02, 25 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
