Good eye. It appears that Wikipedia came first; the first four sentences of the paragraph has been in Wikipedia since before 2009. The fifth sentence was dded in
2009. The final sentence of the paragraph was added in
2015. It's extremely unlikely that Wikipedia would have three different editors more than 6 years apart plagiarizing three different parts of a paragraph from the same site (on top of which, I'm pretty familiar with the work of the editor who made the 2015 edit, and think it quite unlikely that they would have plagiarized).

I understand you will be rewriting this article soon. I would suggest not including the jdcc.edu citation as that makes it appear that Wikipedia was doing the plagiarism rather than the other way around. If you can find other sources that can be cited to support the statements in that paragraph, it would be excellent.

ok I changed the wording, and citation in my sandbox. I went and found
this which led me to look for stellate, which was on
eflora, then found that stellate are a type of trichome. --
