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.

The collector may be [Rupert] Huter. The location looks like 'Alpes Scandinaviae' - so Norway or possibly Sweden, but I can find no evidence that Huter collected there, only Austria and Mediterranean countries.
