Chris, this is just a rough sketch. This article is going to be much larger than Leptotes as taxonomy and species are much more complicated, therefore don't loose your time correcting it as yet (unless you find anything awful, hehe). Dalton Holland Baptista 15:34, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the warning. I still have to work my way through leptotes. In general did you find those changes useful without changing the spirit of the article too much. In some places I felt i was a little too close to the wire with respect to changing the meaning. I see you made one correction already, which is good. Last night I was thinking a floral diagram might be useful, do you have one? If not I could draw one based on one of your photos. I think that would help a lot with the terminology.
