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.

I have reassigned this from Oe. aquatica to Oe. fluviatilis on the basis of the leaf segmentation - the sheet says that it was submerged. Oe. fluviatilis and Oe. aquatica were lumped under Oe. phellandrium by Bentham and Hooker; while there are many records for the aggregate in earlier times, the 1996 Flora could pin down only three records to Oe. aquatica in Hampshire. Oe. fluviatilis remains widespread in the chalk streams, including the Itchen at Winchester.
