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.

Any ideas on the name of who "certified" the specimen and the name ascribed - can't trace a record of a "K glauca subsp. arenaria...?

[oldnick]

I would say Arthur Bennet, he collected in Norfolk though some years before; there is one collection sent to him from same site and era:

Your specimen has also been determined by J B Phipps Jan 1961 (as K macrantha, cristata being a synonym) Phew!

Many thanks, was convinced the B of Bennet was an S! Taxonamists seem to have been a busy lot even before the advent of genetic lineages mapping triggered latest reclassifications! Amended. Mike d'A.
