can't relate 繁茂 to 'rank growth'
rewording
----------------------------------------

Editor:
- One does not say that plants are "exuberant"; rather, one says that *vegetation* or *plant growth* is exuberant
- But "exuberant" in this context is a rather literary expression, whereas 繁茂 isn't

By the way, "rank" means "luxuriantly ... vigorous in growth" (M-W), so it's odd to so say "can't relate 繁茂 to 'rank growth'".
Diff:
- 繁茂 繁茂 [fan2 mao4] /(of plants) exuberant; luxuriant/
+ 繁茂 繁茂 [fan2 mao4] /(of vegetation) lush; luxuriant/
