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.

Collector? not legible (though similar sheet http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/306868/ confirms the site)

[David Price]

Collector is J C Shenstone FRMS, a Colchester Dispensing Chemist and Town Councillor and naturalist active in the Essex Field Club during the decades either side of 1900 (see Simpson's Index). He appears to have been the proprietor of Smith’s Live-Long Candy (see http://thequackdoctor.com/index.php/tag/inquest/ ).
