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.

I would be interested to know who Miss Baker is and how she came by the initial M, my concern is to clear up the issue of Miss Marianne Baker of Suffolk 1859 who has also been entered as 'Ms M Baker'. Miss Baker of Cornwall is not mentioned in any other collections I have seen including any of Davey, including his many from Ponsanooth (I have not found any others of his for this species).

I suspect the 'M' is spurious
