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 #1 is by McKay - can anyone confirm or deny, please?

[Chris Liffen]

McKay collected in that area see attached jpg from J of Bot Vol 30

also I suspect that the (later?) note underneath is by Arthur Bennett,
who like Fryer was an early expert on Potamogetons.

Thanks, Chris.
