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.

'Cuxden' = Cuxton? Mason has other Kent specimens, not from Cuxton. Collector illegible.

I wonder if the name might read Thomson ?


There was a collector J Thomson - who spent some time in Africa (mountainous areas) collecting for Kew / Hooker.

Certainly looks like it. The only other h@h specimen collected by a J Thomson is from Dunoon (I found nowhere in that area with a name anything like Cuxden)
