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 guess JBP's "1858" is when he knew the specimen was collected, not a mistake for 1958... If so guess the second "54" date is when he checked it and not a catalogue number ...

[Tom Humphrey]

Just to be contrary... 1858 is a Phipp's collection number, the collection date is 1954.

Thanks Tom, one lives and learns as usual - I hadn't thought to check if JBP collected anything himself - seems he was prolific if >1800 specimens out there! I've added a resulting query to the help board. Regards. Mike d'A
