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.

Obituary in Proceedings of the Bournemouth Natural Science Society 1931/1932: Miss S. G. Rooke. The Botanical Section will suffer acutely in the loss of one who had been one of its most earnest and diligent members from the time when she joined the Society in 1914.
