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.

Must have accidently checked the Feedback button - I think its correct! Mike d'A

The collector is not 'C J M Leighton' but 'C J McLachlan'; see http://herbariaunited.org/sheets/BIRM/20542.jpg where the signature is a little clearer. I have failed to find any mention of this collector in the usual places.

There's quite a few versions in the database (I assume C J McLachlan is the correct one) see also

Manchester specimens without images which I suspect to be related:
http://herbariaunited.org/specimensearch/?taxon=&taxonid=&collector=Lachlan&colid=&role=col&from=&to=&search=search&Country=all&VC=all&place=&placeid=&Inst=all&search=search#searchlist

and another C J M Leighton

p.s. I've edited the locality to Walton on Thames to resolve confusion over several Walton VC17's: Walton on the Hill, Walton on Thames, Walton Heath and Walton Common are all valid and distinct Surrey localities.
