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.

An interesting specimen, but can anyone work out the site and collector?

[Chris Liffen]

Guessing here; but this looks like a person who likes abbreviations as judged by the way the date is written. I think the Falm on the 'middle' line might represent Falmouth. The signature is difficult, but there is a long horizontal stroke whenever a T is present, so the name might be Letterstrom or even Zetterstrom.

I'm convinced by Letterstrom but not by Falmouth, particularly considering the species.
The reference to Nyman p222 is perhaps the Conspectus Florae Europaeae by Carolo Frider Nyman (1882)

[Chris Liffen]

As I said - guessing really.

no mention of Rubus

By a process of internet-hunting, I think this site is Falun, Dalarna, Sweden. see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runn
