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.

How about Turfmoor, which is in Devon but near the Somerset border?

Thank you. 'Turfmoor' looks obvious now, but near Axminster isn't too close to Somerset. I wonder if there's another Turfmoor (a generic name?) near Taunton.

Perhaps the border changed ! ?

No. I guessed he had made other collections there which would give me a clue. And it was so.

Neat.
Tried it in Genuki and that revealed surprisingly little.
