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.

Recorded as Stanford Worcestershire but earlier label details Stanford Heref (5) possibly Stanford Bishop - Any ideas which to go for?

Mike, I have spent ages on this.

I think that you are right and he does mean Stanford Park Worcs. but as it is so near the border between the two counties he was probably on the Herefordshire side. It is also very near Bromyard, so still in Dist 5. Ley spent his whole life going about the county so I don't think he would have made a mistake! I don't know how to enter it though - to me it is misleading to put it in Worcestershire!

BTW if you click on the [...] after the taxon box, you can enter the determination there. Tom has just told me how to do it! I have done it for you for this specimen.

Yep - must admit when looking at the large scale map hadn't noticed the county boundary running through the Park woods by Stanford on Theme - Amended the precise loc grid to the West (Heref) end of the woods but left the Stanford on Theme Worcs loc....
Thanks to re the the Taxon box - (Not spotted it / not read the instructions properly!) suspect should now go back and transfer some notes from others to their correct box!
