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.

as DWD says, a miserable specimen. From the size of the utricle, C.spicata is most likely, but without a leaf or site, useless
