I suggest- ALT2:
... that the Olympic violet (pictured) is a plant found only on the eastern and northeastern peaks of the Olympic Mountains?
- (Decide to use English OR Latin name, no need to mention the state if there's a link to the park, no need to say "rare" when the hook expresses that.) - Did you know that you have to do a review now if you have 5 or more DYK credits? - Article is new enough and long enough, well sourced (but I don't find the "seven" of the original hook in the ref. - How about giving the name "Flett's violet" also? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:16, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
- Gerda, your alt looks the best but we should add back in Washington state at the end.--MONGO 13:15, 11 August 2014 (UTC)
- You mean because it would look Greek?

- Thank you for looking at Fossil Lake (Oregon)! You could have mentioned it here already when you made your first comment there, a review is a review even if no approval yet. As we agree on ALT3, I strike the others, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:20, 16 August 2014 (UTC)
