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.

Identification needs checking, not atrorubens possibly leptochila (AJRichards). Second collector W A? S (which would be Shoolbred)

Ep. Identical with the orig Lit(tle) Doward Plant ?

Second collector probably W H Purchas.

In this part of the Wye Valley atypical forms of E. helleborine are sometimes mistakenly determined as E. atrorubens - see, e.g., Phytologist (1850) p.856 concerning a putative E. atrorubens on the Little Doward (is Ley referring to this plant?)
