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.

The writing on bottom left I think isn't a signature, so the collector is the same F.Townsend, isn't true?

[David Price]

The words at bottom left are "with seeds".

"New Cut" is the name of the locality within Torquay (near Kent's Cavern).

Wouldn't it be better to include the whole of what Townsend saw fit to include on the label, "large form growing on newly turned soil"?
