This not-a-botanist(!) just wants to thank you for this entry and its excellent clarity. Might there be a way Wiki would allow a brief entry paragraph written using fewer scientific classifications and terms to describe pine drops to a very average, curious reader? This is not, not specific to your entry, but to many of Wiki’s botany and other scientific entries. As a former teacher and current adult literacy volunteer, I believe a “common man” intro written for the many adult and kid readers still at a fourth and fifth grade reading level (sadly that group includes most American adults) could serve as a teaser tool to draw in folks to the knowledge available in Wikipedia. A brief opening offering up the coolest features of this utterly delightful plant in more everyday language would be helpful. Again, above all I wish to thank you for this and surely other Wiki entries! The depth and cites speak to your expertise and are the qualities that make Wiki my general knowledge resource.
