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.

No collector given

[oldnick]

This is definitely collected by Ley himself. He is one of a few collectors who very rarely puts his own name on specimens (but does say if someone else collected it seemingly). His handwriting is very distinctive once you have seen it a number of times, which you certainly would after doing any number of sheets especially from BIRM. What makes me so confident also is that his usual areas of collection have become so familiar; Herefordshire (where he usually specifies a 'District' eg 'D2') Brecon, Monmouthshire or Forest of Dean West Glos as here.
