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.

I think it must be J T Boswell-Syme, see http://herbariaunited.org/popupsiginfo.php?sigid=578 which is the JBS version of his signature but writing extremely similar, and he collected in Middlesex in the early 1850s. I recall the story is he had to adopt the longer version of his name as a condition of an inheritance.
