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.

'Mr Francis' (?barely legible) has been edited as George William Francis on another M&M sheet, see message on http://herbariaunited.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11805 - 4 sheets have been so edited, none naming a site, 3 of them watery species eg http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/299221/?image

George William Francis was the author of An Analysis of the British Ferns and Their Allies 1851, where his Aspidium thelypteris Marsh Shield-fern is reported from "Valley below Caesar's camp, on Wimbledon Common, planted there some years ago by Mr Tyton".
