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.

Can a better botanist than me please pronounce on whether this is Bromopsis erecta. At first sight, I agreed with HST that it was Festuca rubra, if only because of the narrowness of the leaf. Sheet doesn't say who made the B. erecta det.

I also suspect B erecta was wrongly entered on h@h. Note also 'twin' sheet http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/278755/
