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 had a look at this sheet and completed it as well as I could. There was a difficulty with "fide Dr Wharton" as usually it means "according to" or "by the assurance of". Here, I think it means that Wharton told (or showed) Hillhouse (who also lived in Bedford) only that it was growing in his garden, but I decided (rightly or wrongly) not to add him as the collector.

There is a Wiki on Hillhouse at http://herbariaunited.org/collector/17596/

Good that you have started to do some sheets again - welcome back!
