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.

Does anyone recognise this handwriting?

[Chris Liffen]

Some of these sheets have H H Haines written alongside the label. However, for most of the time in question, Haines was a forester out in India. I e-mailed Richard Gornall to ask him if the writing matched that of any of the specimens associated with H Haines in his herbarium - the answer was "no". So as yet, there is no clear association with this distinctive handwriting.
