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.

It could possibly be 'Preston', but I would question the identity of 'Henry Deane' as revealed by Kent & Allen: I think it could well be the Henry Deane celebrated in Australia as an Engineer and Botanist. See
