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.

could this be Simon R. Davey? If so would 1861 or 1961 be correct?

I think this is probably a 1961 sheet. Quite a lot of the Aberystwyth sheets where collected in the 1960's by students - this looks like one of those, so probably no assumptions can be made about the initials.

(the 'grid reference' A37210 is odd - I have no idea what it means )
