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.

G Don was born 1798; this sheet and another from 1809 are labelled as if collected by him, but so is another from 1785 http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/390151/?image

Then the Collector is likely to be George Don Sr (1764-1814); see http://www.forfarbotanists.org/georgedon.html

For George Don Jr (1798-1856) see http://www.forfarbotanists.org/georgedonjnr.html
