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.

Alfred Fryer - he was the pond weed expert (together with Arthur Bennett). Both did a lot of work on Potamogeton sp., even growing them in tanks / ponds in their gardens. Fryer was based in 'The Fens' and Bennett in Croydon.
