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.

I couldn't identify 'Foulmire Heath' - Foulmere / Fowlmere in Cambridgeshire may be likely?

[Roger Horton]

Cambridgeshire History says Foulmire, Fowlmere, and Fugelesmare, are the same place.

Thanks! Is there any way of checking whether any Starfruit record from there?

No records in the county flora of Babington or Perring et al. and not in Gigi Crompton's on-line database.
