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.

This layout of sheet usually represents collections of W West snr (a belated tidy-up?) though Clapham is not one of his more familiar sites

Hillhouse collected several specimens in Clapham, Beds in 1875 cf http://herbariaunited.org/atHomeForm/?release=498337137dbb9abcc517ca3e9e11174e&edit=268489 The writing looks similar to me as well.

Wow! I've put your info on the specimen record - Thanks!

On looking again, I think the handwriting is W West's and the location Clapham Yorks. he handwriting is certainly similar to that on the sheet you refer to! I see one or two differences though, eg the way the 7 is written
