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.

User comments about this sheet

meiosis1 wrote

rather distinctive handwriting - someone might recognise and name collector?

[Tom Humphrey]

If anyone does know then this would be useful info for a lot of sheets. This sheet is part of quite a large set at Aberystwyth. The collector is not marked on any of these sheets, which unusually, consisted of folded sheets, with the label written on the outside - hence the obvious editing of the photo to move the label on to the same image with the specimen.

Could this person be
Henry Haselfoot Haines ???
Some sheets that have been 'processed' are attributed to him, and they have this writing on them.

Haines did retire to Wales, so it is quite likely that some of his material might have ended up in Aber, but Kent & Allen say his herbarium went to Leicester. You could ask Richard Gornall if he recognises the handwriting.

OK, will send him a copy of the label from one of the pages.
