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.

Is this not Torilis japonica?

[oldnick]

Definitely looks like it - the leaves & fruits etc! Also, T japonica, T Anthriscus, Caucalis anthriscus and Upright Hedge-Parsley are all synonyms (CTW 2nd ed)

Well, yes! thank you! But both curator IDs on the original sheet, viz Caucalis Anthriscus Lam. and Anthriscus neglecta are synonyms for Bur Chervil: also B & H seem not to distinguish within Caucalis Anthriscus between Hedge Parsley (=A. sylvestris) and Upright H-p. What a mess! But chiefly a curatorial one as MAB seemed to know what she had found!

It is a pity Stace doesn't find much room for obsolete names in any of his editions as I usually have at least three books out when working on HeHo!

(My CTW is 1st edn but it shouldn't differ in obsolete names much?)

Have also just looked up T. anthriscus on IPNI and there are three different usages!
