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.

This date is somewhat vague I have chosen 1877 but it could be 1911!

It looks like 9/11

I think the name is "J G Baker" but not in the handwriting to which we are accustomed.

OK thank, I have amended the sheet and no records for Baker either.
And the date come up red "conflict with A Ley D O D, are we sure it is Baker and 1911 ? I am not completely sure!

I am convinced the name of the collector, as written, is J G Baker. Ley's herbarium contained a good number of Baker's plants.

I've looked on a bigger screen & now think it says "9/71". The fact that there is no other collection by Baker recorded on H@H from Devon during 1871 proves only that this may be the first so far.

Thanks glad it is sorted out.
My laptop is only 15" I do use a magnifier but that is not much help.
