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't read collector initials

[Roger Horton]

In a recent post HERE it was suggested that GSS is Rev. George Sidney Streatfeild. The other initials are the frequent Dulwich collector 'M D' or 'M P', perehaps one day we will sort out which!
