The result of the move request was: Moved to Zambezian dry evergreen forest. There's general consensus to use the "evergreen" adjective, and as No such user mentions, the form with "dry evergreen" and singular "forest" seems more prevalent than others.  — Amakuru (talk) 12:09, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Zambezian cryptosepalum dry forests → Zambezian Cryptosepalum dry forests – The genus name is Cryptosepalum in italics and upper case. On the other hand "cryptosepalum" in lower case is not a regularly used English word. Petrosclerosis (talk) 22:42, 19 January 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. Adumbrativus (talk) 04:26, 27 January 2022 (UTC)

• Perhaps move to Zambezian evergreen dry forests instead? That seems to be common in the sources as well (as the article notes), it's certainly more natural for readers (few of whom will have any idea what Cryptosepalum means, regardless of whether it's capitalized), and it's likely more WP:CONSISTENT with other analogous articles, most of which include either evergreen or deciduous in their titles.

  • Zambezian dry evergreen forests (or any similar variants) is fine as well, per No such user. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 15:20, 27 January 2022 (UTC)
• Move to Zambezian dry evergreen forest(s). As Extraordinary Writ said, it's a more natural and recognizable title. However, "dry evergreen" is more natural adjective order than "evergreen dry", and is indeed used more in sources and in our category. As for "forest" vs. "forests", for some reason the singular form seems more common in sources, although plural would be more consistent with the other similar articles, so I don't have a strong opinion on that.

• Move: As suggested above, Zambezian evergreen dry forests would work well. If "Cryptosepalum" is used, it should be in italics and upper case. SchreiberBike | ⌨  20:50, 3 February 2022 (UTC)
