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.

not sure if 'aberystwyth' refers to collection or site

[qgroom]

certainly the place that it was collected. Many sheet in the Aberyswyth collection appear to have been collected by students, presumably as part of their degree studies. Several of these collectors have misleading labels and don't understand grid references.

Many thanks for that

[oldnick]

The collector is evidently Jean Brooks, see http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/271681/
