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.

I wonder if the collector was in fact F.H.Knapp (fl. 1846-63) of Bath.

I withdraw the above remark as " J. W. White described J. Knapp as ‘a charming botanist and traveller through the inexhaustible regions of nature’" (ODNB).
