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 month of collection is more likely '10' than '5' - could the year be 1978 ?

The collector's initials look more like BC than MC.

The specimen looks more like Gymnadenia or a Spotted orchid than Fly orchid,
