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.

Alan Newton, on page 7 of his Flora of Cheshire, 1971 lists two possibilities under "Principal Contributors": Mrs G. Mackie, Cheadle Heath & G. Meredith, Audlem. I much prefer the former as she was probably the more prolific and certainly lived much the nearer to the site concerned.

Thanks for that! I've updated the specimen with G. Meredith, but added your comment in the notes.

Hi,
Sorry, I've not been watching the message board closely enough...

GM is Gertrude Mackie. There are many of her sheets at MANCH.

regards,

Tom.
