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.

Given up trying to spot a determinant with initials like these "T? C? Crun???" from 1999 (or if writing isn't biro, possibly 1899). Anyone recognise it?
