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.

The label has Colbren and Cwm hir (Long valley?)so followed Chrisu's lead with http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/286879/ However curiosity: I have assumed that the Ley unsigned bequested specimens with this somewhat rounded script and months in Roman numerals were collected by some one else NK, as some specimens have the label transcribed in Ley's usual script with or without signature... Does anyone know if the round and Roman script is Ley's when younger or someone else and if so whose is it?

I believe it to be Ley's writing, but I must admit I didn't notice the style change in the date.
