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.

Would somebody check collectors please?

[Tom Humphrey]

Thank you for querying this.
The collector is 'Dr Baker' == Robert Large Baker. According to Britten & Boulger he died in Leamington. He made several collections of Potamogeton from the Grand Union Canal.
