  • Comment: This is potentially a notable figure, insofar he founded a plant, and appeared in reliable news coverage. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem I can find the notability with what was written in this draft. Infact,I would conclude that there isn't sufficient information here. Safari ScribeEdits!

  • Comment: Is there an author abbreviation for Garber? Did he name any taxon? Eastmain (talkcontribs) 18:27, 10 April 2024 (UTC)
The author abbreviation is Garber. But IPNI doesn't record any name authored by him. Lavateraguy (talk) 13:38, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
