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.

Habitat of lower specimen looks like "Malvern" but ??? Welcome 2nd opinion?

[oldnick]

I agree definitely Malvern. The label & writing look like Hayes/Bloxam to me; I seem to recall they collected from Malvern; pity the sheet has been 'tidied up', but the Hayes/B labels are usually minimalist anyway.

Thanks, for the verification, also hadn't picked up that the blck gothic script and printed labels were Hayes/Bloxam's. Amended. Mike d'A
