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.

Could Gaud mean Gaudywood Park VC40 Shropshire or Gathered.
Is M Tardent the collector who /what is Vevey?

[Chris Liffen]

Jean Gaudin Swiss Botanist ?
and is not Vevey on the side of Lake Geneva ?
and of Tardent quote "Thirty-six year old Louis Vincent Tardent of Ormonts, Kanton de Baud was teacher at Vevey and a highly-educated man, good botanist and vine grower." http://library.ndsu.edu/grhc/history_culture/history/bessarabia.html

Thanks Chris, the label was so short of detail I never gave a thought to anywhere off your shores, and I did another that day from Switzerland.
