Spelling

[oldnick]

I see Alisma (Luronium) natans has been given the spelling Elisma natans

Hi Nick,

oddly, in this case it's not a spelling mistake as that variant of the name has been validly published - though it's no-longer accepted.

There are likely to be other spelling mistakes though, so if you spot any then please let me know.

I'm nearing the end of a process to tidy up and reconcile herb@home names with names in the BSBI's database - retaining the original names used on sheets but wherever possibly resolving them to currently accepted names. Once that happens the currently accepted names will be given more prominence when searching for specimens, with old non-accepted names usually only shown on the detailed view of specimens.

regards,

Tom
