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.

Is the collector James l'Anson? Of his 20 specimens in h@h, 4 or 5 from around London, I'm not sure any have his own signature, and the handwriting is rather different, eg:
http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/389751/?image not too dissimilar,
http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/389751/?image perhaps more dissimilar?

James I'Anson, the first letter of his surname being a capital 'i'. Collection to C.E. Salmon. Related to Backhouse family by marriage. See BSBI article [pdf].
