  • Support: A good example of what is possible with SVG. Brings back memories of high school biology. This is actually an inset of File:Leaf Structure.svg and I'd like to propose they be voted on as a set.--RDBury (talk) 17:16, 24 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: The upper epidermal cells seem strangely large. See 1, 2, 3. SpencerT♦C 23:30, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I think the diagram is only supposed to represent a typical angiosperm. The details will vary from species to species so it's possible that large epidermal cells and small ones are both correct.--RDBury (talk) 06:48, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
This diagram is loosely based on Arabidopsis thaliana which I believe does have large upper epithelial cells. As RDBury says, however, this is just a representative diagram; there are a great many variations to this structure which can, and do, occur, including size of upper epithelial cells. - Zephyris Talk 10:23, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. A wonderful diagram, assuming the content is accurate. Rwxrwxrwx (talk) 22:42, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support but you really should drop the number of required votes to 4. Adam Cuerden (talk) 08:23, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
