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.

Collector could possibly be Burges? compare eg http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/319775/

[David Price]

Burges does not appear to have been in IE in 1936.

I think collector probably D.M.Heath.

Thanks, and based on numerous other Heath specimens eg http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/283507/ it's evident the typed label is completely in error

[David Price]

I re-edited the date and unwittingly locked the sheet before I noticed that the locality had incorrectly been altered from vc H12 to vc 113.

Can this be rectified?
