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.

Despite appearance, 'Burth Moor' may = Turf Moor, see similar label same date etc on: http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/265907/

Journal of the House of Commons for 1777 (http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=ZRlDAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA242&lpg=PA242&dq=turf+moor,+somerset&source=bl&ots=3Ne3fgVgtc&sig=VF6eOZWzOy-vlvdYfPo7TgxCDrQ&hl=en&sa=X&ei=OL9QVO6ZJeiQ7AbTx4DQBA&ved=0CCAQ6AEwADgK#v=onepage&q=turf%20moor%2C%20somerset&f=false) indicates that Turf Moor is part of Shapwick Heath ST44, north-east of Shapwick.

Shapwick Heath is now a NNR.

[David Price]

Not 'Burth' but Burtle Moor, ST44.

Burtle is north-north-west of Shapwick.
