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.

If Mudd collected this plant himself, the date - July 1845 - must be wrong as a) the record shews the flowering period is the second week of June; and b) Mudd did not take up botany until he moved to Ayton in 1850.
