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.

Location looks like "Whisley" or something "??hi?ley" Common. No candidate names of Warwickshire Common's. Any ideas?

Hi, Mike, Just scanning latest sheets, do you not think this was collected by Kirk and then went to West?

Hi Sarah, I'm new to this but as the others attributed to Kirk as the collector that I've had a look at all had his name or inilitials somewhere as the Col and this doesn't (like Sanguisorba minor subsp. muricata documented in 2008 also transferred to West and with the same Kirk herbarium label and also with no collector detailed) I though probably better to leave the col blank, though bet you are correct! Should one follow intuition/hunches? Mike d'A
