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.

Herb A Ley. The info is very likely on the back of the letter (from S H Bickham?) so I am editing in and marking as 'photo faulty'

This letter refers to Littorella and so must relate to http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/274966/ from near Hay 21/6/1888

The collector is probably Dr J H Wood (? - 1914) of Tarrington, a Herefordshire GP, amateur entomologist and member of the Woolhope Club;
