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.

H@H generates the grid ref of Ben Vrackie as NN8765, but this is the grid ref of Blair Atholl, several miles away, the correct grid ref is NN9563. 'Glass Mhiel, Forfar' Duthie has 3 similarly labelled specimens this month - Glas Maol?

[Roger Horton]

Ben Vrackie, VC89 East Perthshire, NN9563, often described as "near Pitlochry", should now appear just once in the pick-list. The database, however, still contains other examples from the Perth Herbarium (PTH) without images, so impossible to edit. Wikipedia says "Scottish Gaelic: Beinn a' Bhreacaidh; sometimes anglicised as Ben Y Vrackie".

ps apologies for confusion re message, due to a different specimen on this sheet, from Ben Vrackie, having previously been edited
