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.

There is another collector named who I cannot match to anyone?

Definitely reads H Seebohm and the name is on the 'menu' I think you're not getting the magnification from your screen and hence not the normal clarity, do you not either zoom in enough or not use the '100% etc' zoom on your computer screen bar

Thanks.
A lot of it is colour blindness and dim grey on grey, for instance I collected a specimen of Cephalanthera rubra I had no trouble matching the description from the books to the specimen except for one thing it to me, varied from blue to violet, and was in no shape or form red. It was only when I said to my wife I just cannot find this blue orchid anywhere she said but it's red.
Also my screen is fading after three years and the brightness is fully up and I need to order another machine from UK hopefully this week, or buy an add on screen here have not decided yet, it will not solve the colour problem though.
I do not not use windows or mac but Ubuntu which has a virtual magnifier but that of course blows up the errors too.
