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.

'Tarens, Llanthony valley, Monmouthshire' = Cwmyoy Daren? The Black and Red Darens are in Herefordshire

[Roger Horton]

During The British Bryological Society Annual Meeting 1954, Monmouth, 15-19 April, there is a report "16 April. A visit was made by motor-coach to Taren yr Esgob near Capel-y-ffin, in the upper part of the Vale of Ewyas, better known as the Llanthony Valley. The Old Red Sandstone cliffs, or tarens as they are locally called, were frequently visited by the late Rev. Augustine Ley and he recorded a large number of mosses from them; however, since most of his records appear to have been made in the Monmouthshire parts of the valley, our attention was confined to the Breconshire part of Taren yr Esgob."

Tar[r]en yr Esgob starts at SO2530 on Monmouthshire, and runs NW into Breconshire.
