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. Log-in to edit this sheet.

Yep, that makes sense - Thanks
Re flower there is what looks like an umbel emerging from beneath the lower left leaf with 'shadows' of what might be more.... Mike d'A |

Yes, I see what you mean, but it's not part of the plant. If you look at the plant, the inflorescences arise from the axils of the leaves, not near the leaflets. See: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b5/Koeh-236.jpg/250px-Koeh-236.jpg
I have seen some pretty awful herbarium specimens, but never one in which the flowers are totally obscured!  There would be very lttle point! |

| Yep, agreed: Amended to "No flowers" (...probably). Actually quite impressed that more of the specimens don't survive only as loose assemblages of fragments... assuming these are typical and not just the ones fit for photography. Mike d'A |

For herb@home everything gets photographed (with the occasional exception of sheets with no useful label information) - but of course it's probable that in the past badly deteriorated specimens may have been disposed of - herbarium policies vary, but in general nowadays all specimens are retained regardless of condition. |
