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 feel silly for asking since I used to know who this was, but can someone remind me forcefully whose "C S" cypher it is that accompanies the penned number grouping of these specimens? It looks a bit like a W... Tks

It is the 'trademark' of Joseph Woods (as was his curious notation for the date) - see article by J Hewitt here

Told you I would feel silly, especially since Woods collected some of the specimens on this very page. Have to take more vitamins, I think....

Thanks,
