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 second date and the notation about the flowers being cultivated are puzzling. Indicates two specimens collected at different dates, but clearly only one specimen (with flowers firmly attached) shown.

I would say the cultivated note is just an incidental note, and that in any case the important site to record is the original one. Also, I have been caught out by 'Sedbury' but now realise it's Ledbury (Herefs) whetre I believe Bickham lived!
