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.

Collector C H J? Hilleston Cornwall not found on Google

[Tom Humphrey]

It looks like 'Helleston' which I take to be a spelling variant of 'Helston' - googling appears to show the name in use in the past.

C A J - Rev Charles Alexander Johns has many specimens from VC1 during 1830/1840s.

'Helleston' was the spelling often used by the poet Charles Kingsley on his herbarium sheets.
