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.

Appears to be Ankerberry Hill - obscured by specimen

[David Price]

Collector's label says "Lastrea aristata" not cristata - isn't that a synonym of Dryopteris dilatata? D. cristata has never grown in Glos.

[oldnick]

Yes, this is D dilatata as you say, and I have now corrected the name 'cristata' entered on the record. You are right on all counts: the specimen is labelled aristata; it lacks the mucronate pinnules etc of cristata; aristata is a synonym of dilatata - CTW 2nd ed.
