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.

This one is amusing, unless their was a botanist called Mouse....

Not 'added' but 'Adel' (place: a suburb of Leeds).

I think "been examined by a mouse" is intended to be jocular.

Re Adel was seeing what I thought not what I read! Thanks, amended, Mike d'A
