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.

oldnick wrote

'Philadelphia' names abound including in Derbyshire and Sunderland, and this label lacks date or clear collector's name 'WD'. Either or both specimens could be V agrestis as on sheet, or V persica as entered on h@h. V persica was first found in Britain in 1825.
