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

oldnick wrote

Ley's date '27/8/1882' seems an uncharacteristic mistake, since he collected in Herefordshire on that date, but a year earlier at Hobcarton Crags

[David Price]

I think Christie's spmn is ex herb Geo Nicholson ex herb Dr R L Baker (i.e. no separate Nicholson spmn) - both labels have collector's number 192 (but Baker has wrongly transcribed the date).

There is no evidence that Christie's spmn is ex herb Ley so it's confusing that it has been curated with three spmns which have a Ley association.

[oldnick]

Yes I agree about those Christie - Baker labels and have re-edited accordingly.
It looks like this sheet is a pastiche of other sheets snipped up. Reminiscent of some of my earlier hobby days. Was there a paper shortage at the time?
