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.

These are the early flowers I think. The original label seems regrettably missing. Has collector's name been correctly transcribed onto typed label? No other H@H specimen is labelled as collected by W Bagnall.

[mossysal]

Looks as though you are right that there has been a transcription error. There are at least 110 sheets for Warwicks out of a total of 143 sheets currently on H@H for J E Bagnall.

And see sheet http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/253542/ where Mr Bagnall inWHP's writing looks a lot like W Bagnall?

Thanks v much for finding that

On entering name in collector box, I could not bring up the name Bagnall or anything similar on the list. I entered James Eustace Bagnall anyway; and on a subsequent search of Warwicks specimens, I found many of Bagnall's, but the Legousia/Specularia had not joined the list!
