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.

Collector: I think Hollinger sounds more credible than Hottinger; spelt both ways on sheet; and yet the name Hottinger crops up on one other sheet (no photo) http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/210407/

The Bailey label is a later transcription, whereas the earlier (?Mott) writing appears to say Hottinger - I can't find any info on either Hollinger or Hottinger as potential associates of Mott.

Miss Hottinger revealed - well, sort of

[oldnick]

Very revealing! I have edited accordingly. How do you find these??
