Use of impepho → Impepho – I just moved this article from its original title The use of Impepho to the present title per WP:TITLE, but I think simply moving this article to impepho would be even better. Currently, impepho and imphepho both redirect to Helichrysum petiolare. As these terms refer not only to H. petiolare but to a group of Southern African Helichrysum species with medical and cultural significance (as noted in this article: Helichrysum cymosum, Helichrysum nudifoliumHelichrysum odoratissimum and Helichrysum petiolare are all known as imphepho which indicates that they can be used interchangeably, as Van Wyk et al. (2000), noted that “use often depends on local availability rather than preference for a particular species”), I think it would be appropriate to instead move the content of this page (covering the cultural and medicinal uses of all of the species known by this name) to the title impepho (with imphepho as a redirect), in line with our articles on coffee or myrrh - that is, articles on the notable human uses of a group of plants being separate from articles on the plant taxa themselves.
