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.

Guess "Hon Walton" will be one of the previously identified Walton's but not found which if any were Honourable, anyone recognise him?

[mossysal]

Isn't it "Hort. Walton" (perhaps a place?)

[Mike d'Apice]

Yep, could be: Can't trace any Waltons on or near 'The Lizard' or any Lizards near any of the vast number of Waltons! As for Hort, seems its a family name with one lot the Barrons of Castle Strange, but again can't find a link with any Walton or Lizard. Conclude no idea where or by whom this was collected - amended accordingly!

Thanks, had dismally failed to spot Dawn's record but now far better informed about Waltons!
As Lizard doesn't seem to be a name local to Walton or a person, if Hort is indeed Horticultural / Cultivated perhaps the seed might have originated from the /a Lizard.
