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.

uncertain about the locality

[Chris Liffen]

Tempted to say Leek (staffs) - the second e being 'ill formed' as it is in September.

[oldnick]

Sark - although badly written, Hillhouse collected there on that date (and from the other islands also at that time)

Thank you. I would never have got that without context.
