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.

Does anyone recognise the handwriting?

[Chris Liffen]

Yes and no.
There are many sheets by this collector. Some have a pencil note added - saying H H Haines. However, I sent some of jpgs of the writing to Richard Gornall as many of Haines' specimens ended up in the Leicester Herbarium. He has said that it is NOT the writing of Haines so we are none the wiser as to the identity of this person. S/he has a number of specimens from the Dorking area.

Although I think now considered they are Herb. Haines? Hoping this is right, I have edited in.
