"Pubescence"; non animal species[edit]

'Pubescence' should redirect HERE and not to the page about human puberty, and the word pubescence should be mentioned here and explained, or an extra page 'Pubescence' needs to be created.

I finally came here from reading and somewhat editing (minor corrections) the page about Intermediate wheatgrass (Thinopyrum intermedium), a plant, where "pubescence" is used in a sentence without explaining it, neither its meaning for this grass especially, nor in a broader sense, but had been made a link, which unfortunately was/is beeing redirected to the exclusively human puberty page.

As I looked for a more appropriate, more helpful page to link to I came (and changed the link in the wheatgrass page to point) here, but this article is quite unsatisfactory in its dealing mainly with animals until now. 2A02:3037:41D:9822:2:1:86EB:C581 (talk) 08:21, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

p.s.: the unexplained and formerly wrongly, now still relatively unhelpfully linked mentioning of pubescence in 'Thinopyrum intermedium' occurs here:

Synonyms:

Scientific names:

"Many scientific binomial names have been given to the species Thinopyrum intermedium. Multiple species or subspecies have been described based on different morphologies, like the presence or absence of pubescence."

Pubescence in botany[edit]

oh, oh: seems to mean something completely different: "hairlike" structures on plant parts !

so, 'Pubescence' needs a differentiation page! instead of the human puberty link;

this page here needs to include plant, fungi, algae etc. "sexual maturation/ maturity" text AND needs to clarify that pubescence has two meanings

And the wheatgrass page needs to link to a botanical-sense-explanation. 2A02:3037:41D:9822:2:1:86EB:C581 (talk) 08:53, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
