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.

Should I add the suggested 'var. Modestum' to the species name? Does one need to give the Authority - such as 'Linn'; 'Jord'? As a newcomer can you please generally comment on how I filled this record? Thank you. donaldb

I would leave the variety off the record. Reading the notes. it appears there is some debate to its identity anyway. Also it is not a commonly used variety. I've updated the collector to Mr Chambre Corker Vigurs. Although the sheet is hard to read the signature matches other sheets attributed to him, plus the dates and collection area also match.

I've also made the grid reference less specific, as it is not clear where the exact location was.

I hope this helps
