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.

'Malgirdhy' possibly = Meall Ghaordaidh ?? http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/397378/?image locates the same place in Perthshire. R K Greville is the collector of that specimen, but is his handwriting comparable? See eg http://herbariaunited.org/sheets/E/E00737706.jpg

Scottish Gazetteer has Meall Ghaordie (Meall Ghaordaidh) "Located south of the Stronuich reservoir". The name changed between the 1950s OS and the present edition.
