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.

His father was a botanist - so perhaps passed from father to son ??

"He was the eldest of five children of John Sim (1824-1901), a noted bryologist and Isabella Thomson Robertson." Wiki
