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.

not sure of word before wasteground

I think "outcast" perhaps from some quarrying or builders rubble type of dump?

I thought it looked like outcast but it didn't make much sense, it could be something to do with quarry workings though

The accepted meaning is that this is a garden outcast now growing on waste land.

That makes sense, you learn something new every day!
