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.

Scottish specimens often have N.B. for North Britain. Could W.B. be West Britain for Ireland?

Note that THE BOTANIST IN IRELAND by Robert Lloyd Praeger says:

Najas flexilis ... First found by Daniel Oliver at Cregduff Lough, Roundstone, in 1850 (Bot. Gazette, 2, 278, 1850).
