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.

A critical examination of specimens from this area would be interesting. Recent (2002-2011) sampling and recording suggests possible hybridisation with allied spp with wide var's found in petal size, Fr hairiness and aerial Lf geometry.
