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.

Is 'F W' collector, or site?

[Chris Liffen]

Could this be the writing of Joseph Woods ?

[oldnick]

Yes, I certainly see a degree of similarity - with his usual labels being so brief, I can't find a close enough match with this, as it seems possibly his 'posh' writing, rather than identical with the usual. He has no H@H collections currently from that month, though there are others that year. I don't think the initials cab be JW.

[Chris Liffen]

I wondered if the initials were a transitional state to his strange squiggle of JW, as on other sheets.

I think it's an F, and same handwriting as the other Breach/Hutchinson sheets. A search reveals 3 FW specimens
