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.

Site hard to read, on original and new labels.

This looks as if it needs re-naming as Atriplex patula, as per the label. I suppose ex herb University of Sheffield needs to be added also. At first I read Wetton, but CW didn't collect from either Staffs or Heref. However the original label also says E Yks (compare with http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/306602/) so I tried Watton; and CW did collect extensively around Hull, Beverley and Driffield (Watton is on the main road between the latter two). Although I would tend to ignore the modern Sheffield label, spookily it actually reads as Watton.

Thanks!
