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.

pencil note on left about disticntions between the two plants... needs thought
also printed label needs transposition

Think the word on the first specimen recorded might be paludosa, rather than halodose - as in Mentha paludosa.
