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.

R L P has many specimens from around this date from Co Dublin, both from "Glendoo" and "Glendhu" I can only find a reference as a place to Glendoo Mountain, which I have selected as place name.
Does anyone know of Glendhu? And the location given above does not look to me like either. if not I will correct these sheets.

You are in the right place - Glendoo and Glendhu are alternative spellings; see http://mountainviews.ie/summit/303/comment/6256/

OK i will change all to Glendoo as it appears in the data base.
Many thanks.
