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.

no collector named; numerous people collecting in Surey at this time; anyone recognise handwriting? date could be 1851 or 1861 (or 7?)

It perhaps doesn't help with the collector,
but cf http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/254115/ from Painter's herbarium in ABS

The handwriting is that of Rev Joseph Hesselgrave Thompson.
