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.

does anyone recognise the collector from these intials?
also can anyone read the pink label?

[David Price]

Pink label is collector's label (in Ley's h/w) which says "WHP[urchas] Llanthony 21/8/[18]91"

Other label appears to be a det label: ABJ = Albert Bruce Jackson?

"Albert Bruce Jackson (born in Newbury, Berkshire on February 14, 1876; died in Kew on January 14, 1947) was a British botanist and dendrologist. He worked as an assistant the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew from 1907 to 1910 and later at the British Museum from 1932 to his death in 1947." He exchanged plants with Ley thro' BECBI.

Vernacular name of taxon looks a bit odd.
