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.

Harald Lindberg, son of botany professor Sextus Otto Lindberg. Harald's PhD thesis was 'The Nordic Alchemilla vulgaris-forms and their distribution', therefore well qualified to determine this specimen, but at a time when he was still studying. There are examples of his and his fathers collections in the University of Vienna Herbarium database (e.g: an example apparently from Jena; slow to load). Often wrote dates onto pre-printed labels with the day number above the line, and the month below, with a two-digit year to the right!
