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.

Any ideas about the name of the determiner ?? M.O.Galium, the name appears on many Oxford Mentha sheets

Many mint hybrids, especially those at OXF, were determined by R. A. Graham (eg. Rex Graham) the then mint expert. His handwriting is very recognisable.
