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.

This is a very early record of the railway as a plant habitat. The line formed part of the Grand Junction Railway; designed by George Stephenson and running from Birmingham to Crewe, Warrington and beyond, it was the first trunk railway to be completed in England and opened for business on 4 July 1837.
