Move to Wikispecies?

I think this article should be transported over to Wikispecies. Didz93 (talk) 02:44, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know, it says Wikispecies isn't for encyclopedia articles (just language independent taxonomy), and the taxonomy is already there. I can ask in the Plants and Fungi Wikiprojects though. Sci girl (talk) 22:52, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Name

Does it really need to be changed to Dolichousnea? I'm not familiar with the Articus paper, but Esslinger's lichen checklist still lists the lichen as Usnea. Everyone calls this lichen Usnea, so changing the name seems kind of silly. Although I suppose that is the issue with using a taxonomic classification as a name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Millifolium (talk • contribs) 02:21, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
