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.

The likely site of Tregair Moor is an area by the River Gannel, Newquay in St Newlyn East parish boundary where Carex acutiformis was collected in 1907 and refound in 1998 by Hazel Meredith and Ian Bennallick and confirmed by R J Murphy, the then BSBI recorder for VC2 East Cornwall.
