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.

Labelled Polygonum Raii. I couldn't find Rocquaine Bay or similar, though Cornwall is indicated by same day's newspaper

I have put in P. oxyspermum subsp raii as per collector's label, but I am not sure as it looks too densely-flowered? Can't tell if it is glaucous of course!

Rare enough to merit someone going back to the herbarium for a look? Do herbaria or county recorders ever use our Sherlock Holmes endeavours incidentally?

(Curator's?) note on label states collector was I M Benson - could this be E M Benson, wife of R de G Benson?
