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 find this confusing: 'Cerastium aquaticum' is an old name for Myosoton aquaticum, which I believe this specimen is. The English name 'Mouse-ear Chickweed' written by A O Hume seems to me both misleading and incorrect.....?
