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.

'Peninsula Ind. orientalis' printed in Wight's herbarium label presumably refers to the east of India around Chennai (Madras), as he was founder of the Madras Agri-Horticultural Society.
