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.

There are many Friday Streets in Britain, but none is in Devon. There are several potential collectors with the initials J B D, but I have found comparable specimens from none of them that would link to this specimen, and 'J B Davies' has no dates or specimens in H@H - maybe best just to enter the initials & no name.

I read the date for the Helsby collection as 24/4/1926, a day when he was at Friday Street in Surrey (OS TQ127457). Should there not be three specimens/sets of specimens on this sheet with separate entries and collectors, with ex herb. IAH?
