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.

This label is interesting. The signature certainly seems to be that of Richard Poole (initial debatable possibly though?), but the early date of http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/298134/ and archaic script of http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/296914/ (both are also grasses) belie the date given by Ley. Any explanation?
