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.

Not sure about the date. Though it might be 5/4/1907 but too late for Townsend and that is rather fully developed as a flower for then, even in the Scilly Isles

The date is given in pencil as 6/62 (on both labels), and the other figures are some kind of serial number system that Townsend used
