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.

Why is the collector not Baker? Did the B'ham curator misread Surrey for Summers perhaps?

[hallucigenia]

I would go with Baker and the old label myself. Nowhere does it say Summers on the original, that I can see, could be they stopped half way through for some reason and got confused?

Agree: "L B E C" below Baker is presumably the 'London Botanical Exchange Club' and as in same writing as "Ex herb.....Baker". If so perhaps got to Mrs RWS via LBEC - she doesn't seem to go in for signing her slips and the writing's not unlike her other (attributed by Birmingham) specimens... also all her other specimens in N Wales. while Baker has >120 from Surrey.
