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.

Collector of Glen Beg specimen inferred from match with J.G.B's initialled script on http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/278657/ collected on same day and locality. But Ley also there....Agree?

[David Price]

No.

The link you give is to Polygala vulgaris ssp collina coll & ex herb Rev A Ley, the collector of which has wrongly been identified as J G Baker, Ley having quoted Baker (note quotation marks) and attributed the quotation to its author, J G B[aker]. The collector of this Caltha is Ley.

I don't follow the reference to Moray, unless to distinguish between the spellings of "Beg" and "Beag". Remember that Ley's rendering of Celtic placenames was often loosely phonetic.

Many thanks - had dismally failed to spot significance of ""s - Noted re spellings - Highlands, albeit thinly, seem to be littered with Glen Begs and derivations there from... Amended. Mike d'A
