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.

on review, I can't make out collector either

[oldnick]

There are evidently 3 collections/ labels, 2 collections made by C O Groom (his usual labels) one of them in May 1870; and one by W R Crotch, whose initials the letters after Taunton are; he sent C O Groom numerous specimens from Taunton (and may well have been a master at the school there judging by 1 or 2 scholastic site-names of his)
