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.

Collector and site unclear - 'Thomas'? 'Bey'? 'Vaud'? [or even Vaucluse?]

[David Price]

"Villars-sous-Champvent is a former municipality in the district of Jura-Nord Vaudois of the canton of Vaud in Switzerland and lies at an elevation of 464 m, 4.5 km west as the crow flies from Yverdon-les-Bains. This farm village is nestled in the Bey valley."

Could "Thomas" in fact read 'J. Lomax'?

Very informative, I will edit the site accordingly; I found no other Swiss specimens under either surname.
