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.

Any thoughts re bottom left label 'Near Rome'? Woods frequently travelled south across Europe, but this species occurs no further south than the mountains of Central Europe.

[Chris Liffen]

FWIW, I note that Woods' label refers to C. campanulatum and

and that Travels in Italy, Greece and the Jonian Islands in a Series of Letters, Volume 1 (1820) lists C campanulatum as present in the Coliseum
so perhaps Rome it was ........

[oldnick]

Excellent! I don't know how you found that - but C campanulatum appears to be a synonym of C ligusticum - I'm editing in reference & photos
