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.

It appears this specimen has been updated over several years.

Bushend is a familiar site for Heath, though he usually writes the location more fully. I think his drawings are not usually from the specimen itself. He frequently includes several collections in one sheet, which can be entered by using the green + on the screen (rather a lot of work!)
