I'd suggest, when this is moved to mainspace, that it be named List of endangered and threatened animals and plants of Illinois as that format is more common.Thanks, SchreiberBike | ⌨ 21:15, 9 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

@SchreiberBike: you're probably right. I couldn't figure out the title and just threw some words up there. Thanks for the idea. --Nessie (talk) 14:29, 10 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

@NessieVL: You've made me chuckle with your edit summaries. There is a place for humor in Wikipedia (but it's vanishingly small). Thank you. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 02:49, 14 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

The photo accompanying Trillium cernuum depicts Trillium catesbaei, a species of Trillium native to the southern Appalachian Mountains. The photo needs to be replaced. Tom Scavo (talk) 13:40, 29 October 2020 (UTC)Reply
