Botanist Reid Moran's scientific paper holds the record for the longest title on Wikipedia at 250 characters. Despite its lengthy name, "Cneoridium dumosum (Nuttall) Hooker F. Collected March 26, 1960, at an Elevation of about 1450 Meters on Cerro Quemazón, 15 Miles South of Bahía de Los Angeles, Baja California, México, Apparently for a Southeastward Range Extension of Some 140 Miles," the paper consists of just five words. It is humorous yet factual.
