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.

This could be the hybrid C.x haussknechtii, or any other witin the group. The two specimens could be different; the long bracted one being C.x pseudaxillaris, although the infl is shorter than one would expect.
