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.

A couple of queries on this one. Can anyone make sense of the placename? I can't trace an Aberclydach to Brecon. Also, there seem to be corollas present but I assume from the collection date that these must be from the previous year. Help, please.

I think it's 30 vii 1900; bushy bank of [river] Usk. Aberclydach is the name of a farm 2 or 3 miles downstream of Brecon, but unfortunately just outside the area of my map. GR approx SO 0627

You're a genius.
