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I cannot trace this taxon name; the original annotations on the sheet refer to "S. peregrinum": S. x peregrinum is an outdated synonym for S. x uplandicum.

Thanks for reporting this. I've checked against a photo of the BIRM folder cover, confirming, as you had supposed, that it was filed as S. peregrinum.

I'm not sure how I managed to make such a strange transcription error (apparently twice as there was also a SHYB sheet!). I've corrected the two documented sheets and the remaining BIRM sheets will correctly appear as S. x uplandicum / filed as S. peregrinum.


regards,

Tom
