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.

Hello, this is my first entry. I was not sure how (if) to enter the data "Dandy 1958 No. 80/2", and was wondering if I entered the rest of the data correctly. THank you!

Hi,

welcome to herb@home

The record you've created looks fine. P.C.H as collector refers to Peter C Holland - it's probably better to enter the name in full, so that records can be easily linked in the database.

The Dandy number is a reference to J.E.Dandy's List of British Vascular Plants - so just an obsolete taxon id code - there's no need to record it. Similarly CTW refers to Clapham, A.R., Tutin, T.G. & Warburg, E.F., Flora of the British Isles. The other numbering scheme you may come across on many sheets is LC - 'London Catalogue of British Plants'. Herbarium sheet labels often get covered in codes which, with few exceptions, are no-longer useful.

regards,

Tom
