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.

Appears to be Veronica serpyllifolia as labelled rather than V alpina as entered on h@h

I think 'P Montserrat' is likely to be a redetermination rather than details of the collector, so that this is a mixed taxon sheet collected by Dummond (who thought both specimens were V. alpina).

Yes - thanks!
