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.

can anyone make out the locations please?

[David Price]

Both the lower labels bear Joseph Woods's cipher. I cannot read the upper label but the lower bears the words "Eifel" (a mountain range on the German-Belgian border) and "Wirtgen" (a German botanist (1806-1879) who specialised in the flora of the Rhineland).

Thanks David
