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 don't believe '13/5-54' is the date; however if the collector was Edward Trusted Bennett, he did collect from Jura in July that year (Stranraer could have been his ferry point?) - http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/296922/
