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.

I assume that K refers to Kew as there was no collector name? The date is also 13/10/34 which could be 1834? I have put 1934 but you may want to change it.

Dear Ian,

I don't know what the K refers to but Kew is probably correct. I think you're right about 1934, if the label was 1834 it's unlikely it would be printed and the handwriting doesn't look very 1834 either.

Thank you.

Kind regards,

Leander
