Scope	Nominated as the most valued image on Commons within the scope: Davidia involucrata (Dove tree), inflorescence
Used in	Global usage
Reason	For this scope, I propose a geocoded QI, showing well the clusters of flowers and their pair of white bracts, and how they are set along the branch. -- Myrabella (talk)
Review (criteria)	Comment Hallo Myrabella, the picture shows 3 flowers, not an inflorescence [1]. Scope should be corrected to flowers IMO. --Llez (talk) 09:04, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply] I think we can speak of "inflorescence" for that species, because the terminal heads are made of a cluster of reduced flowers; for example,there: "Inflorescences consist of globose terminal heads with a pair of showy bracts [...]" and "Nearly all flowers in the head are staminate, but a single bisexual flower, upon fertilization, develops into the fruit". Also in that ref: "Davidia involucrata, a species with conspicuous, petaloid bracts subtending a contracted inflorescence with reduced flowers." --Myrabella (talk) 09:28, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply] Best in Scope Thanks for the information on this interesting plant. --Llez (talk) 10:23, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply] `Result: 1 support, 0 oppose => promoted.
