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.

The Botanical Record Club is not listed as such.
The year of date is far from clear. I looks like this was collected by W R Linton (good hand writing match) but the "subsequent" provenance is wrong as he was only 13 when it was bought from the Linn. Soc

I have noticed that Botanical Record Club doesn't come up in the pick-list, even though it is in the database!

Thanks, I've marked 'Botanical Record Club' as a valid name.

I think there are two separate specimens on this sheet, delimited by the pencil line. The Linton specimen is separate from the ex-D. Don label.
