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.

The 1st specimens M piperita identification note possibly a transcribed note from an earlier lost origional as no records of the M. p. var vulgaris name traced so assume archaic. See sample in unidentified writing gallery, for another Mentha specimen, also signed J Fraser 11 Sep 1877 can't trace the specimen its from... coincidence?
