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.

Anonymous, and label not original. Wimbledon Common was C Avery's usual site for collecting Rubi, howver he died in 1960. I'd say uniform with sheets of K M Marks eg http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/333726/ especially given the taped-on petals

Several 1963 Surrey spmns, very similar in presentation, have been attributed to B A Miles himself (q.v.)

[Roger Horton]

The BSBI membership list for 1962 [pdf] lists them both dated by year of joining:

1959 Marks, Miss Kathleen M., 11 Ennerdale Road, Kew Gardens, Richmond, Surrey.
1954 Miles, Beverley, Lyndale, Merthyr-Mawr Road, Bridgend, Glamorgan.

The address given for Miles would be that before he moved to teach in Sidcup.

Many sheets have been recorded as collected by, or ex herb. Miles even though they are labeled 'Det. Mr B. Miles'. All are from SLBI whereas his collection is reputed to be at Cambridge.

Miss Marks is not mentioned in 'Rubus in Surrey' (2003) by D E Allen who includes lists of Rubus specialists and notable collectors -
