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.

I have not mentioned the following 'No viith Edit. L.C. 195'. Should I? Could someone explain this to me please and also if what I have done is adequate. Thank you.

The LC / LondonCatalogue and similar serial numbers can be ignore, they are a reference to a checklist of plant species.
Many of the herbarium sheets, like this one, have 2 or more separate collections of a species, sometimes by different collectors etc, and the only way to enter them is to start mutiple records on the screen, by pressing the green + button at the top (twice the work!)
