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.

Kings Cliff Valley not located

[David Price]

Kings Cliff is at ST257318 near North Petherton.

This plant has no affinity with Dryopteris submontana; I think it's just a funny-looking D. filix-mas (L.) Schott

Thanks! I've deleted the submontana species-name that I had entered.
