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.

Hirculus station not understood

[Roger Horton]

The Victoria history of the county of Durham (1905) says of Clint's Crags Ireshope (~4km S of Wearhead) "marshes in the neighbourhood are a station for the specially rare yellow Saxifraga hirculus." OS NY8436, zoom in on map but easier to see here on Streetmap! (see also sheet 338280 and lower right specimen on 302718).
