This is a documentation subpage for User:Emok/plantbox. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original user template page.

This teplate depicts characteristics that are often useful in identifying plants. The template is given as a quick way to display information about plants and to enable quick comparison between them.

Copy the following code into the article you want to add a Plantbox to, then assign values to the parameters:

Or, simply include this template to the top of the article's talk page: {{User:Emok/plantbox-missing}}. This will generate the following box (and someone one will come along and add the mycomorphbox shortly):

This article would benefit from the addition of a Plantbox which lists traits used to identify this plant. You can help Wikipedia by adding one.
