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.

Collector's initials W S? I am struck by the date 5/27; if 27 is the year 1827 (West not alive 1927) then within the era of Henslow and Babington, could it have been William Wilson Saunders (who was however more northerly-oriented) see:
