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.

amended from 1876 (original label obscured & wrongly copied?) West was too young then! His other Shipley collections I have seen are mostly 1890. Another interesting example of Festuca seemingly being seen as 'interchangeable' with Bromus.
