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.

Collector 'R W R' often associated with London Natural History Soc., and sometimes assumed to be 'R Windsor Rickards'. Rickards, however, won prizes for his orchids while living at Usk Priory, Monmouthshire, so may not be the right person.

..further searching suggests Randolph William Robbins much more likely.
