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.

Curious: Should not the preferred name be Betula pendula (Roth.) x pubescens (Ehrh.) as understood that B. alba was the long superseded name?

Thanks, I've marked the name as synonymous.
