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.

Had thought it read "F ? Druce" and there's a specimen http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/285572/ from 1884 ascribed to a F Druce.(Juncus inflexus x effusus = J. x diffusus. GB, VC23 Oxfordshire, North Leigh.F Druce) But this proves to be G C's signature used on all his original labels that I've looked at so far.
What's the policy on correcting, where more or less certain, other completed specimens like 285572? Does one just edit and note the rational which will then get reviewed? Mike d'A

Yes, please edit any sheets you notice which have errors.

I've changed the sheet you mention - the signature is clearly G C Druce and the alternative, Francis Druce, would have been 11 at the time of collection.

Will do. Thanks. Mike d'A
