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.

1. It was identified as either Agrostis alba or what looks like "B maritima (Bab)" do you agree that P. maritima i.e.Puccinellia
might be what he meant albeit not much like it?
2. The collection site looks like Fen ground but would defer to a better interpretation!

As usual obvious when pointed out! Amended to sea coast. Thanks Mike d'A
