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.

Looks like Pentaglottis sempervirens to me - Anchusa officinalis has much narrower leaves. I J Bennallick BSBI recorder for VC2 East Cornwall
