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.

Joseph Woods evident from style of label. Other 'E Forster' sheets: http://herbariaunited.org/specimensearch/?collector=E+Forster&colid=1618&search=search

And what of the 17 'W E Forster' sheets, mostly from Essex & East Anglia? The only one of the that's photographed is: http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/206157/ which looks rather like 'Mr E Forster' to me. See also http://herbariaunited.org/core/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11739 from Essex.
