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.

The flowers may be Nymphaea alba, but the leaf is surely Nuphar lutea.

True, the leaf is indeed N lutea which I dismally failed to spot.. should it be recorded as a separate specimen correctly named in the first field? Mike d'A

[alex lockton]

Yes, as a mixed collection, I suppose. Easy enough to do if you're grapnelling.
