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 think this is one of West's?

[David Price]

West died on 7 August 1919 which gives one pause for thought.

[Mike d'Apice]

which rather suggests that quite a few specimens presented by West and with West attributed as their collector that also have unsigned slips with the same script, format and info but no name/initials, are by whoever wrote the label for this one ... not Prof West either..
