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.

Collector 'Prof H...r' may be Oswald Heer, his sole h@h specimen is from Winterthur 1837: http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/247298/ I couldn't identify 'Glaro.... alpes'

"Glaro... alpes" is possibly "Alpes glaronaises" (Fr. for Glarus Alps).

Thanks! I find there are various internet references linking Oswal Heer to the Glarus Alps eg http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Popular_Science_Monthly/Volume_29/August_1886/Sketch_of_Oswald_Heer
