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 could not spot any clues on sheet to origin/more detail - and collector's name did not match the few details of the other Holmes' on the database.

This style of sheet is ex herb Mrs F S Bennett. A similar Mr Holmes sheet from Kent is http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/282863/ The only other sheet by a Holmes from Kent I could find was http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/323715/ by E M Holmes 1843-1930
