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.

This specimen has been entered on H@H as S latifolia, but seems more likely to be S x tomentella (S vagensis), and is consistent with 'the first specimen recorded in Britain at Symonds Yat in June 1871 by A Ley (CGE)' - BSBI Handbook no 14 p172
