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.

Is Stow maries. L a species or a place? Searching draws a blank.

Stow Maries near South Woodham Ferrers, Essex, at TQ8399

Thanks Oldnick,
I will give up using the place name searches on this site and just use Google etc. instead.
Not sure why he put an L after the place name though.

I see what you mean about the L - I don't think Linnaeus ever visited! I mainly use 'Streetmap' and can't get on with OS.

The penny has dropped. I am guessing that the label is probably not the original one, and whoever copied it thought that Stow maries was an alternative scientific name.
