I agree this can be moved to Wiktionary (may need rewriting).

This is covered in Orchids#Orchid flowers. Brya 19:11, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]


I disagree - I don't think this article should be moved to Wiktionary. The Labellum is a key feature of orchids that differentiates them from other flowers. Much more could be said about how it attracts insects, etc. --Vince 20:50, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Callus (botany)" should not redirect here, since the term applies here only to a very specific floral feature of orchids. Botanically, the term is also and commonly applied to the point of attachment of grass florets or (less commonly) to scar tissue associated with propagative cuttings. If the term redirects here then it should be circumscribed, e.g. "Callus (orchids/Orchidaceae)", or noted on the webpage that there are other, unrelated botanical usages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.68.129.127 (talk) 19:35, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
