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.

Barcode below least legible label on sheet! Others not documented. Is that what was required?!

[oldnick]

Probably better to stick em all down than to leave some undocumented. 'Berof' had me foxed though.

[Roger Horton]

On closer examination I see there is an embossed stamp adjacent to the Italian specimen:
'HERBARIUM C.F.Ph.Martii' = Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius.

thanks, have edited in

The Savi family:
Gaetano Savi (1769-1844) father
Pietro Savi (1811-1871) son
Paolo Savi (1798-1871) son, ornithologist - hence Savi's Warbler

Pietro Savi became assistant to his father in 1830 at the Department of Botany, University of Pisa. Appointed in 1839 professor he also replaced his father as director of the Botanical Garden of Pisa in 1842, where he remained in charge until his death.

On the Hammarbya paludosa label could it say Preus[sischer] Havel-berg? Havelberg now in Sachsen-Anhalt.

[oldnick]

I don't know how you spotted that, but think you are right! An interweb map seems to show that the River Havel area above the town is a mass of small lakes and ditches, so may have formerly at least been suitable for the species
