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.

User comments about this sheet

This sheet is confused by the label which states 'on mountains on the western isles of Scotland' and may or may not refer to an actual specimen. I have entered this as S x thuringiaca as per Young's determination. Possibly one of the earliest specimens of this species; seemingly just outside the native range, see BSBI Handbook 14 p58

The reference to the western isles is evidently because Breach had mis-IDed this spmn as S. arranensis (then known as S. pinnatifida).
