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.

Word before Braemar and the initial bottom right ST ??

[Tom Humphrey]

The collector's Alexander Croall (although this sheet is a bit atypical his initials are just about recognisable).

c.f. http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/256328/ which references the same locality, read as 'Morrone' - I'm not completely convinced.

Thanks Tom - would never have got it to be AC: Re Morrone the word on the sheet does seem to be a bit short unless was a phonetic spelling and there doesn't seem to be any better or even close candidates around Braemar. Regards Mike d'A
