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.

There is a small note on the line between species and variety that is hard to decipher. What is meaning of this?

[oldnick]

It may read R Br or similar. Such small notes & numbers which often appear on labels, may be catalogue references, initials of authors curators or determiners, etc. If their significance is not obvious, they can be ignored I would say.

R.Br. is Robert Brown as in Teesdalia nudicaulis (L.) R.Br., the combination given in, e.g., Coste and McClintock, Fitter & Rose.
