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.

Any body know this place name it appears to be [upper] Nant Traflwg [y] but I cannot find any river in Wales that comes near?

Have you got a grid ref for the site? I have scoured the Afon Tywi - maybe the valley is under Llyn Brianne?
