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.

Some pest or disease on the Irish specimen? Illegible.

[Roger Horton]

Perhaps Exobasidium vaccinii or Cowberry Redleaf, a pathogen of Ericaceae, apparently.

Spot on, Roger! Thanks! The last word is the authority, Woronin.
