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.

User comments about this sheet

xmhcman wrote

A secondary label is in Wood's hand but the main one, possibly a later addition in pencil, giving the date Sept 1864 is very late for him. Is the location 'Alscote'?

[Chris Liffen]

Perhaps the specimen was passed to Woods for comment - he wrote a paper on Atriplex

Alscot (Park) SP2050 is on the river Stour about 5 miles from Honington.

I have added Alscot (which surprisingly is in a finger of E Gloucestershire), and changed the collector to Townsend. Thanks!
