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.

The name "Cephalanthera pallens" is archaic: C. damasonium is the accepted current valid name.

At least a few of the lowest flowers on the inflorescences are open and mature.
