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.

Help!! Not good at French, but could this be St Pierre not St Bierre

[Roger Horton]

It says something like:

"At St Bierre, in the island of Jersey, 6th August 1832. That day I made a complete tour of the island, and found everywhere S. scorodonia always in dry places usually in hedges, rarely on rocks and walls. - I searched in vain for the S. nodosa, and I saw only once the aquatica."

I cannot locate St Bierre, but as the plant was growing 'everywhere' perhaps this is not important, or perhaps he means Pierre!
