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.

The site is Llanforda (written incorrectly on this sheet). The collector seems to be L.M.M. Lester-Garland - presumably a relative?

Thanks, not finding a Llanforden near Oswestry, I had wondered whether Llanforda was correct. I have changed the collector’s name.

Ah, well done. If anyone is tracing Lester-Garland family history, they'll want to know about relatives.
