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.

Rather than W E Forster, I suggest that this might read Mr. E. Forster - who was a notable botanist in the early C19th.

Edward was one of three brothers - all of whom made 'botanical contributions'.

I therefore infer that the specimens attributed to "W E Forster" - all at MANCH and most of them recorded as ex herb Bowman - are in fact all collected by Edward Forster.
