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 Collector is most likely Wester A. Plumptre. The current binomial for "Orchis aranifera" is Ophrys sphegodes but the size of the labellum persuades me that this spmn is O. fuciflora (first differentiated by Rev G E Smith) for which The Warren is one of its classic sites.
