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.

The work quoted above is the 2nd edition of J G Baker's magnificent "North Yorkshire", most of the stock of the 1st ed. having perished in the 1864 fire; see http://www.meiosis.org.uk/botanists/john-gilbert-baker-f-r-s-f-l-s-1834-1920/

Baker, who became closely associated with Trimen, was probably the collector of this spmn.
