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.

What IS this please? I wondered about Poa infirma but although it is not a v good photo, it looks a bit sedge-y and Heath calls it C. pumila?! Perhaps dwarfed C. arenaria?

There is an A capillaris sheet http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/259383/?image which looks not unlike. I think this may be A capillaris "a dwarf form once distinguished as A pumila L and which seems to be fairly common" [Cope and Gray, 2009]
