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.

Fruits in 1934 specimen?? CTW 2nd ed states of C. littorale 'narrow-leaved forms of C. erythraea have frequently been recorded as this species' - so which species is HST's 1934 specimen - and could he have been unaware of littorale?
