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.

There is a signature under [ Is this Agrostis alba N Y Sandwith. I think it maybe Nov 3rd 1921] it appears to be crossed out so I have ignored it. correct?

It is initialled by HST himself but then he says "W H P[urchas]" agrees. But as A. alba is an obsolete name it can rightly be ignored.

Not Purchas, H W P[ugsley]

[hallucigenia]

So! after you botanists have debated names etc ignore or no?

If in doubt always believe Wonastow!

I would put the notes in but not add A alba as an alternative name.
