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.

I think the identification of this specimen is wrong; given as Helictotrichon pubescens [Downey Oat] habitat given as "local in Ireland" on Chalk, I think it is H. pratense [Meadow oat] more likely in Sussex, appears to have bent awns, bluish green, right or wrong?
