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.

User comments about this sheet

oldnick wrote

Labelled as collected by Hume. Most sheets around this date, in herb A O Hume, were collected by F H Davey. Other sheets around this date show Hume collecting in E Cornwall (around E & W Looe), & Davey in West, including from Penpol same date. So either there's a Penpool or similar around W Looe, or the sheet is mis-labelled, since Hume & Davey oddly didn't seem to collect together
