| notes: | 1. Of this specimen of Arabis hirsuita and in answer to my query "Are not the leaves singularly broad?" Mr Arthur Bennet writes
"The Arabis is of much interest. I have not seen a type specimen of Wallroth's plant but it seems to answer to his description:- Certainly it is a form of hirsuita that is not common. I have quite the same plant from Argyle. Its also very near (If not the same) from Llyn Idwal, Carnarvon gathered by Mr Griffiths."
Of course it is a casual at Malvern Link brought doubtless by a train but where from? Could the Midland Rail bring it from Brecon or Radnor? S. H. B.
2. Stems with buds, mature flowers and seed pods. |

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.

- Assume the Wallroth at line 7 is "Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Wallroth (1792-1857) a German botanist"...
For info: Interesting to see how the Victorian botanists worked and what they were thinking.
