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.

could someone please confirm or otherwise that these initails are those of Lady B? I've asked before!

[David Price]

I know you have; why do you suspect it may be Lady Bentham? Wouldn't her herbarium have gone to Kew, like her son's?

Many thanks, wonastow

I thought the initials were those of Lady B: now you have advised me I know they are not. I fear you assume a greater knowledge than I possess about the good Lady's administrative botanical arrangements and those of her family! I am pleased, however, to have this information. I have seen other specimens since I wrote, and have not made the same mistake!

Best wishes
Keith
