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 sheet mentions what seems to be C S Salmon, a name/initials not in the drop-down list. Is this a different person, or is it just a slip of the pen?

Dear Keith,

I think the specimen was actually collected by H.C.L. Ewing as it says Legit. on the label.

I agree it does look like C. S. Salmon on the label. I've looked in Kent and Allen's British and Irish herbaria as well as Desmond's Dictionary of Botanists but there doesn't appear to be a C.S. Salmon. It could be C. E. Salmon but I'm not sure. I think where it says 'from C. S. Salmon, that might indicate that he gave it to Shrewsbury School.

Kind regards,

Leander
