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.

A search through specimens of Saxifraga cernua from Ben Lawers Herb' G.S.West gives two shared ex herb Peter Ewing 13/7/1880 and 7-8/1884, plus one collector William West 7/1889, comparing hand writing including GSW none to me looks like this, I feel if we could identify the collector we may find the date?
