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.

User comments about this sheet

oldnick wrote

There are many such anonymous sheets from Co Waterford throughout 1881, some from Wexford & Kilkenny, none from N or S Tipperary - all counties with a place called Ballinamona. Also, does this frequently-recurring handwriting bear comparison with the anonymous London sheets in UCD eg http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/318681/ of 1877 ?

This sheet has the 'Quaker' date style of '8 mo. 1881.', whereas 318681 has a
day/month/2-digit-year style, '5/6/77', so I would guess two different label writers.

[oldnick]

Yes. Also the British sheets have other characteristics such as frequent underlinings, -"- eg http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/318505/
