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.

Benson's collections this month are from Devon & Cornwall, and since Hapton in either Norfolk or Lancs is very far from the coast, 'Hapton Sands' must surely mean 'Slapton Sands' as recorded on: http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/231738/ Debatable whether a transcription error or handwriting style.
