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.

Dr Hemke? Hawke?

I am sure the collector is Douglas Mackay Henderson (1927–2007) who spent most of his working life at Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh where there are several examples of sheets bearing his characteristic handwriting (e.g. Rutstroemia plana). He has two other h@h sheets from 30/3/1980 which have been located to 'Loch Dawgh'. I think your Loch Damh = Loch Damph is the correct reading (Gazetteer of Scotland confirms)!

I see you're right!
