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.

Melvill collected 11 specimens labelled 'Ben Laoigh Perthshire' on this date. 8 of them have been edited at NM9601 which is Beinn Laoigh in W Perthshire SW of Inverary. But the correct site, given Melvill's collection sites the days before (Crianlarich etc) and after (Ben Chonzie etc), seems to be Beinn Laoigh / Ben Lui, the much-botanised peak on the borders of Mid, West and East Perthshire SW of Tyndrum at NN2626. Does anyone agree they should be re-edited accordingly?
