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.

Ley calls this C. alpina but the leaves are not toothed and the flowering stems of alpina are bare of leaves. could it be C nigra ?

Isn't this Centaurea montana L., the familiar Greater Bluebottle?
