N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

Label says M piperita, not arvensis

Looks definitely more like piperita. Since it's been identified as such by A L Still - his initials - I would alter it to that on the screen
