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.

collector uncertain; site not specified

Re collector as 1842 how about George Gardiner rather than W Gardiner (unless not the 1866-1928 one), as George returned in 1841 from Brazil, by when seemingly a prolific collector, and before departing for Ceylon in 1843 ... see http://www.electricscotland.com/history/other/gardner_george.htm If living near the Andersonian university while preparing his lectures in 1842 then that puts him in or near Glasgow...

This style of mounted specimen & label on brown card is uniform & presumably intended for an exhibition? eg see the Salix specimens from Richmond of [James] Ward. But there are no other such by 'Gardiner' currently on H@H.
