i am assuming Leg.ipse means the collector is the same as the Herbaria lable is this right

[Mike d'Apice]

"leg" = abreviation for "legit" = he/she/it writes (If recall correctly3rd person singular present tense off 2nd declention(?) verb. Ipse = self. Hence Leg Ipse is Self writes... so yes the stated herbarium owner is the collector..... & as I got a grade 7 in Latin GCE many years ago Tom's tutorial notes under the get involved shortcut on home page :

Collectors

The collector is the person who went out in the field and picked the specimen. Often their signature or initials will be handwritten on the label.
Legit is commonly used to denote the collector.

As you start to type in the 'collected by' field the system will display a list of suggested names, whenever possible please choose one of these suggestions. The name list is partly sorted by frequency (major collectors listed first), so where there is ambiguity, the name from the top of the list is often the correct choice.

If in doubt about the identity of a collector, then enter the name as it appears on the sheet.
