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.

Could S Thomson (1 other, similar specimen) be the same as Spencer Thomson 1817-1886 of the pick-list?

[Roger Horton]

Quite possibly: K&A (the book) says that Spencer Thomson was a known exchange member of the Bot. Soc. of Edinburgh and that the society held at least part of his herbarium.
