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.

Query taxonomy: this looks not at all like Achillea ptarmica (sneezewort), but looks just like Inula helenium in Thome's Flora vn Deutschland.

Thanks for spotting this. I had mis-entered the batch of sheets (confusing kent numbers 135.35.1 and 135.53.1)

Thanks v. much for posting about this. A whole batch of Inula helenium had been uploaded as Achillea ptarmica, as I'd mis-typed the Kent number (135.53.1 instead of 135.35.1). I've corrected the sheets affected.

regards,
Tom.
