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.

This is recorded as "Carex filiformis L." which is not correct, but is how this would have been given e.g. in Bentham & Hooker at the time (where what we now know as C. filiformis is given as C. tomentosa).

Thank you for spotting and correcting this.

I'll soon be upgrading the taxon dictionary used by h@h to follow that used in the BSBI Distribution Database - which will give more scope for coping with synonym problems such as this.
