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.

I wondered whether the handwriting is Sir William Jackson Hooker's, and whether he may have been the collector, or not. In W M Hind's Flora of Suffolk 1889, neither Hooker is given as having collected Suffolk; there's a record of this species from Rougham, in 'Herbarium compiled by Lady Blake about 1840-50, now in Ipswich Museum'.

Re: Lady Blake. I wonder if this was Dame Louisa Blake, in the database (probably via Kent & Allen) but no records so far. But was she Louisa Elizabeth Gage, wife of Sir James Henry Blake, 3rd Bt? He was the son of the (in)famous Annabella Bunbury, great aunt of Charles James Fox Bunbury.

Extract from M Sanford's Flora of Suffolk: 1806-1881; daughter of Thomas Pilkington, 1st husband George Augustus Dawson, 2nd husband Sir Henry Charles Blake, her herbarium, now at Ipswich Museum, contains many important records
