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.

Note obscuring information

[Tom Humphrey]

Hi dskall,
welcome to herb@home

Probably the printed excerpt (from a Botanical Exchange Club report) refers to this particular specimen. The obscured label is far from ideal and in general I try to avoid this by taking multiple pictures of the sheet with the label folded back, in this case I can't have noticed the obscured label.

I've filled in Warminster Downs as the locality for the sheet - even though you had already transcribed that into the notes field it makes the sheet more readily geo-locateable if the place name and region fields are filled in.

I'm also assuming that E S Marshall is the collector. W H Painter (from the label at the top-left) can be filled in in the ex herb field.

regards,

Tom
