1970s?

"Found as a chance seedling in the late 1970s by Phillip Levesley" - odd indeed for a plant originally described by Linnaeus... Dysmorodrepanis 14:29, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

this article is nonsense

The entire section titled 'Origin' appears to be complete nonsense.

• Since the plant existed prior to the alleged person discovering it, the 'origin' of the plant is not described by the paragraph.

• Since there is a painting from the 18th century by Carl Linnaeus of Lamium maculatum clearly labeled as Lamium maculatum at the Linnean Collection [1], the story about Philip Levesley discovering the plant in the 1970's and naming it after a monument is absurd.

• The word 'maculatum' is 'spotted' in Latin. The plant is named for the white spots on the leaves, as are many plants. 'Maculatum' is not properly derived from 'Macclesfield'. Someone has an obscure sense of humor.

Since the article contains no accurate additional information about Lamium maculatum that is not covered in the main article about Lamium, THIS ARTICLE SHOULD BE DELETED IMMEDIATELY. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.244.69.176 (talk) 23:08, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
