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.

V persicifolia (synonym stagnina) is possible for each of these sites

[David Price]

WHP is most likely Rev W H Purchas.

[oldnick]

Yes I think so - curiously though I find no other Purchas specimens from the county, nor any specimens collected by him that year with either Newbould or Babington

[Roger Horton]

From Babington's Journal, for 23 June 1857: 'He [Purchas], Newbould, Hiley, Stratton, and I went by train to Waterbech, and then walked to Upware, and went to Wicken Fen. Found Viola stagnina [persicifolia], etc.'

Thanks! He led an exciting life! Was he also fulfilled?
