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.

NB this has been determined as V anagallis-aquatica x catenata by C D Preston 20/3/1995 or '93

[Roger Horton]

Other determinations of this taxon by Christopher David Preston in the database seem to have been read as 1995, though often this is not clear. Sheet 372723 is perhaps the clearest.

Thank you, but shouldn't this then be filed under the hybrid not the species?

[Roger Horton]

It looks as though it is possible to select 'Veronica anagallis-aquatica x catenata = V. x lackschewitzii' from the drop-down taxon list. Perhaps you could select this and add the determination next to it. Probably the most recent EJ Salisbury specimen in the database!
