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 haven't managed to trace any clue to the collector; a sheet of Carex extensa is from Fife in the same year; the handwriting is a poor match but I do not think this label was completed by the collector.

Collector Gardiner and site Birkhill confirmed by comparison with handwriting & location on other sheets eg:
