Thanks, Alberto for these points. I tend to think of rootstock morphology mainly, but you are right that cultivation methods are a pertinent consideration. If Xanthorrhoea (!), Anigozanthos, Asclepias and Doryanthes are included, are there any meaningful boundaries as to what defines a geophyte on the wiki? It is difficult enough for the experienced plantsman to discern what is geophytic or not, but what must the beginner must think of the inclusion of plants that are shrubs and perennials to most of us?
