Edit

[David Price]

Potentilla fruticosa HerbUn no 256869, accession no BIRM tpd. temp. 2245 is stated to have been collected at "Ballyrangham" by "H U Ewings", which are errors for 'Ballyvaughan' and 'H C Levinge', but there is no facility to edit the entry (or any other entry unaccompanied by a photograph of the specimen).

What is to be done?

Thank you for reporting this.

This sheet was documented prior to the herb@home project. It should now have been photographed, but it's quite slow to match the images with the previous textual records - I'm gradually working through them to add the images. The sheet becomes editable once the image is attached. I'll prioritise finding the image for this sheet.

I'm sorry for the delayed reply and my general lack of attention to the website over the past few weeks - I've had a lot of technical problems, first with my broadband connection and most recently with my home computer failing irratically.

regards,

Tom

P.S. thank you for your work on sorting out the HCL Evans/Levinge mistakes - it hadn't occurred to me before that they were confuseable - but with hindsite the possiblity for problems is very evident.

I've updated the record.

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.
