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.

Site illegible - best guess is "Arn Luark. B."

I see that all 4 Ley sheets from this date are labelled 'B' - Breconshire; 3 of them from Ystalyfera. The River Twrch is the county boundary, and Cwm Twrch-Isaf is on the Brecon side, SN7610. The former colliery railway crossed the river here. Ley must have collected all these from the Brecon side, and would have regarded the area as a part of Ystalyfera. My wonky computer won't allow me to edit at present, unfortunately.
