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.

the ?determiner's identity evident from her handwriting - quite an early date for her? fruits I think??

There is no evidence that this was collected by ESG whereas AL was in the area on that date. ESG was what we would now call the Viola referee.

Thanks! I had meant to change the name to Ley but then evidently failed to! I also found a sheet
http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/278442/?image , which intrigued me as I think ESG's must be the writing on a lot of dets I've seen. It shows the benefit of editing whole series of 1 species at a time, which I was for a while.
