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.

'1766' has the appearance of possibly being a curatorial mark, not a date?? The label referring to Burgh Head could be just a note, rather than a specimen on the sheet?

[Roger Horton]

Carex incurva, (synonym for Carex maritima) is in London Catalogue of British Plants 10th edition (1908) as number 1766 .

Thanks! Also supported by a sheet where it clearly isn't a date:
