The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process (permalink).
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
Only in word lists? A plural is particularly hard to locate, so if the word exists then it might be an adjective only. Equinox ◑ 20:10, 13 November 2016 (UTC)
- As stated in the definition, Polysporea is an obsolete taxon in the Coccidia}. So a corpus of 19th-century biological texts is the only place I'd expect to find "polysporean" used. There is a word polyspore that's still in use, but likely with a different, not taxonomic meaning. Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 13:20, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
- “polysporean”, in The Century Dictionary […], New York, N.Y.: The Century Co., 1911, →OCLC. indicates a likely source of the entry. No joy in superficial Biodiversity Heritage Library search. Does @Chuck Entz: have any ideas about sources? DCDuring TALK 17:47, 14 November 2016 (UTC)
