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.

identification uncertain. Did we ever work out where (or who) Colly is??

Can't help with Colly but this is surely H androsaemum? I suspect the Stanley name is an old label re-used and looks as if the H perforatum name has been crossed out?
