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.

The Warwickshire plant was probably coll 12/6/1883; see http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/240946/

Looking at Mott's aquatics coll River Soar, I would suggest July 1884.

Note that Thomas Thorp is not an ex herb. He is the Bookseller who bought Mott's herbarium (and sold it to Bailey) and is thus a 'comm'.
