discuss the merits and any perceived problems with this <span class="gmail-il"><span class="gmail-il">manuscript</span></span>. It has been submitted for review to Annals of Botany. Below are guidelines from a different journal, but are helpful for you to consider:</div><div><br></div><div>"Reviewers are kindly requested to assess whether the science is of sufficient quality for publication. The following broad guidelines may be helpful:<br>
*Please identify scientific problems with the paper and how the author could address them. <br>
*Please identify passages in the paper that require redrafting because the scientific message is lost or incorrect. <br>
*On the other hand, if the English requires extensive attention please mention this in your <span>review</span> but do not spend time correcting it. The authors can be asked to seek advice, and in severe cases the journal can access language-editing services. <br>
*Please pay particular attention to figures, tables and their legends where errors and poor presentation often occur. <br>
*You are not asked to check the references - the production staff <span class="gmail-il"><span class="gmail-il">will</span></span> do this automatically. "<br><br></div><div>This paper may be a re-submission to the Annals of Botany, although this is not mentioned, because the file includes a copy that has been marked up and revised from a prior version.
