Some comments:

• Its closest relative is the very similar Gibraltar Range Waratah (T. aspera) from Northern New South Wales, which was only recognised as a separate species in 1995. - Does this mean it was discovered in 1995, or it was thought to be a subspecies of T. speciosissima up until that year?

• The seven-word paragraph at the end of the "Cultivation" seems rather lonely. Can it be merged with another paragraph?

yup - was tired when I hit the sack last night. Done Casliber (talk · contribs) 20:34, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

• Telopea 'Corroboree' - form with extended styles... - I'm not sure what that this means.

• arose as a seedling in a breeding program conducted by Cathy Offord, Peter Goodwin and Paul Nixon under the auspices of the University of Sydney. - This bit appears twice. Perhaps its second usage can be summarized and tweaked a bit to avoid repetition?

rewoded 2nd instance to " in the same breeding program by the University of Sydney mentioned above" Casliber (talk · contribs) 20:32, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Otherwise looks great; informative, well-sourced, and beautifully illustrated. I made multiple little grammar fixes myself, but I found no major issues. Once my above comments have been addressed I'll pass the article. Cheers, –Juliancolton | ^Talk 14:25, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
