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.

possibly H. appeninum? collector says so,and location certainly likely. I stand to be corrected! Ps. would Audus have been the collector?

[David Price]

The label is a typical Audus label & the presumption must be that he was the collector. Surely the collector is the best judge of petal colour, which in this case is the most immediate diagnostic feature distinguishing the taxa.
