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.

Henfield was where W Borrer lived - Borrer's gardener Charles Green, was able to compile a list of some 6,000 species growing at Barrow Hill, Henfield ( Borrer's house and garden, circa 1860).
A detailed biography of Borrer can be found in Watsonia
