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.

anyone know where Chyoon Moor is?

[Roger Horton]

Probably Chywoon ~2km south of Ponsanooth. In FH Davey's Flora of Cornwall it seems to be referred to as 'Chywoon Moor, St. Gluvias', and current postal address is indeed 'Chywoon, St. Gluvias, Penryn TR10 9AF'!
