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 found few other specimens from Aberdeen, with a photo for possible clues to more detail of the collection; only 2 are near this year. The Aberdeen collections are mostly Luzula arcuata; they refer to the region, not to a town.

The printed herbarium sheets in this style are F S Bennett's. She has specimens from this era from a number of Scottish collectors, including various anonymous ones, some with this handwriting from around 1839-40
