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.

collector seems to be R Paulson, but does not reconcile with collection date

[Tom Humphrey]

I think you're right about the collector name.

This sheet is likely to have been collected by a student, so there may well be no other records if he/she did not continue botanising.

I read this as R Poulson (not the 19C R Paulson) there is at least one other collection by him/her, from the same place;
