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.

N.B. Place name is obscured by the B.E.C.B.I. stamp It could read Damoray [Bridge] or Hay/Tay, and there are only two specimens on record collected by Druce [if he was the collector] for that year.

Is the lower half-legible word "Italy"?

"Eriophorum capitatum" (as labelled) = E. scheuchzeri Hoppe, a plant found in the Italian Alps.

Could well be but I cannot make out anything of the word above, an odd thing to do, pity we cannot use U.V.
