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.

Being a garden plant, Cotts seeems more likely

[David Price]

"Berrow ........... the immense sand hills, or totts, as they are provincially called." - 'Delineations ...... County of Somerset' by John Rutter, London 1829.

Tott - evidently a variant of toot or twt; in Welsh twyn or tump: a tumulus.
