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.

I am guessing the collector was J N Maxwell, who was collecting in this area at the time; see http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/278271/

What about http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/284126/ for W. Hillhouse?

You are right! I should have guessed as soon as I saw Bedfordshire. I now see from the handwriting that Hillhouse must have written the label of Maxwell's specimen of Astragalus.
