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.

1. R. scissus ≠ R. fissus?
2. Two villages of this name in VC49 - one at SH5239 and one at SH8074. No evidence to suggest which is correct yet.

Rubus fissus was the name once wrongly applies to R. scissus see http://www.sekj.org/PDF/anb47-free/anb47-067.pdf and wasn't there a paper in a recent Watsonia (or BSBI News?) about R. nessensis?
