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 am defeated by one word in the middle of Lousley's note:
Compare the Plymouth specimens ex TR Archer Briggs which show well the larger, not aggregated ... and not winged upper stem of the true pycnocephalus.

"anthodes".

I came across this unfamiliar word in a description of Chamomile (Matricaria sp.) - "Flowers are gathered in anthodes on the top of high flower-bearing stems and lateral offshots [sic]."

Many thanks, 'anthodes' added.
