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.

Another for you men/ women of Wales Ley says Gwrack[h] glen Brecon the nearest match that make any sense is the one I have chosen. Who's right?

[David Price]

The label reads "Gwrach Glen, Upper Towy, Brecon".

There is a Cwm Gwrach, but in the lower Neath Valley in Glamorgan.

The upper Towy forms the border of Brecon but only above Llyn Brianne. No Cwmgwrach appeas on the maps of that area: it may too small to be shewn; a local name; or Ley's error. The site is probably in SN85.

Cwm Gwrach (the Hag's Valley) is welsh; Gwrach Glen is scolsh, Ley's speciality.
