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.

Surely not Pyrola minor; rare in south, not in broad leaved woods etc. I think Pyrola rotundifolia more likely?

[David Price]

Stace says P. minor "mostly on leaf-mould in woods in S, also ..... on peaty moors in N".

New Atlas has recent record of P. minor (but not P. rotundifolia) in SO67.
