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.

Any suggestions re collector and 'S Newington' ?

[Chris Liffen]

well, Joseph Woods' parents lived in Stoke Newington ......

[oldnick]

That seems the answer! Woods has 5 specimens from there from the same period, http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/312659/ http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/358302/ have similar handwriting

[oldnick]

The question of the Stoke Newington collector is perhaps clarified by the curator's notes on http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/365195/?image where the collector has been noted as 'Associate of Joseph Woods' while the other specimen on the sheet is clearly labelled by Woods and the curator has so noted it.

But see the spmn at http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/366707/ labelled in the same hand and marked clearly with Woods's monogram.
