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.

Crymlyn Burrows?? Letter date 7/3/1901. I couldn't find any Glamorgan specimens from anyone called Crawford; Francis Chalmers Crawford has numerous specimens from 1900, one of which might well relate, http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/385201/?image but could 'Crymlyn ....' relate to Clova??

[oldnick]

Could Linton have written from Glam? He collected there mamy times between 1885 - 1904. nb the date of the letter precedes the specimens from Mayo & Aberdeenshire

From 'List of Subscribers' to R M Hind's Flora of Suffolk -

"Linton, Rev. E. F. Crymlyn, Bournemouth"

The letter was written by Linton from his home address and suggests the label (in bottom R H corner?) is defective. Crawford was a Carex pundit.

How right you are! and I had Hind's Flora right at hand!
