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.

could you let me know why this is listed under C fragilis rather than C pratensis?

[oldnick]

This is tricky from memory, but I recall that the initial H@H entry was C pratensis - and that I basically started from the original labels - the Kew specimen is labelled C dentata, the R Arun specimen is labelled C pratensis and also has an anonymous determination as C fragilis, I added these as additional names and in the case of C fragilis as the preferred name given it had been determined as such (by D E Allen judging from the handwriting) but not deleting C pratensis. I am aware C fragilis is not a name in current use, however it does appear on the H@H list of species in genus Cardamine. Since the specimen is 'indexed' on H@H under both names, so I trust this is not misleading and am well aware someone reviewing the Cardamine sheets may wish to re-edit them. At any rate the entry wasn't just my own fancy & in my edits of this genus I've tried to do justice to D E Allen's determinations and not delete any options.

Thank you that explains it perfectly.
