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.

All Carex appropinquata records from Pembs. were errors for C. diandra. R.W. David examined the NMW specimen referred to on the BM sheet and collected at the same time as this from Dowrog Common.
