Vernacular name capitalization

Hello, Calvinal! I've noticed your edits to Oeceoclades maculata and have reverted the minor change in capitalization. As I've noted in my edit summary, our manual of style section on organisms (MOS:LIFE) and most other external style guides state that vernacular names should be sentence case ("lower case") except for those parts of the name that refer to proper nouns, like "African" in "African spotted orchid." I know you haven't edited very much, so nothing to worry about -- just make sure if you encounter this situation again that you follow the style guide. Thanks!

I attempted to add a reference to Coccothrinax Argentata. It should be [5]. I got permission from the author of the report to add a reference to the page.
