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.

is the collector 'Hayesor Bloxham', recently encountered but unrecognised

[Chris Liffen]

Is not the collector Cosmo Melvill, of conchology fame (the surname being in part obscured by the flowering spike)?

[Tom Humphrey]

Hi Keith,

I think it's ex herb 'Hayes or Bloxham' - I'm hoping that someone may be able to shed some light on this, - quite a lot of BIRM sheets are labeled as such.

I agree with Meiosis about the collector.

regards,

Tom.
