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 don't know how you remember all these cross-references!
However, I think this is in Heath's handwriting (field notes, not 'posh'). There is another sheet coll Miss Bacon in the same year! http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/289927/

Thanks v much - more to the point, how did you find your specimen? My efforts involved no super-powers, I just entered the date on the 'specimens' search and struck lucky with 1 on the same date from Scotland!

I now realise that Miss G Bacon became Mrs Gertrude Foggitt of Thirsk the following year, see mesage board re:
