I'll take a look and make straightforward copyedits as I go and jot queries below: Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:23, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

The species was published as new to science... - "if you change "published" to "described" you can link to species description.

Remember that it is prose, hence the text should be in grammatical sentences, e.g. like this

link sepal, synonym, (?) Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, type specimen, subgenus, calcareous soil (describing it as "chalky" might be more accessible to readers...?), cretacean (Cretaceous?),

Add who Michael Kovach was (e.g. "botanist", "tourist") and nationality.

but seem to be larger than in other Phragmipedium species - "seem" is wrong word as no-one has seen them... "thought", "estimated", " "predicted" or something.

The Cultivation section needs to sound less like a "how to" manual...as an example, I wrote Telopea_speciosissima#Cultivation

Can we add anything about relationships to taxonomy section?

looks like we need to get a fulltext of "Phragmipedium kovachii: molecular systematics of a New World orchid" somehow....

The caption for File:Phragmipedium kovachii - Flickr 003.jpg needn't repeat the name of the thing, but say, "in bloom in greenhouse (in [location])" or something

The lead needs to be bigger and mention a few important facts (status maybe and a couple of other things)

Fascinating story indeed.

Hello Casliber, thank you for reviewing this article, your observations have been of great help. I've taken care of the changes suggested to the article, the section on cultivation has minor changes as there isn't much info on the subject and I thought it should be kept brief and concise just to give a general view on this plant's requirements.

Hi @Frank R 1981: looking better....just lastly can we add anything to classification (e.g. why it changed subgenera). Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 00:04, 9 October 2017 (UTC)

Status query

Cas Liber, Frank R 1981, it's been nearly two months since the most recent edits here; the only significant edits to the article were to the taxonomy section, though nothing was posted here about them. Where does this review stand, and what, if anything, is left to address in the article? Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 16:43, 5 December 2017 (UTC)

2. Factually accurate and verifiable?:

Citations to reliable sources, where required:

No original research:

3. Broad in coverage?:

Major aspects: - I was waiting on inclusion of some subgeneric classification...but that is only one paper. And realistically it's not essential for the understanding of the subject so after thinking about it I will let it slide. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 04:14, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Focused:

4. Reflects a neutral point of view?:
