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.

collector anyone?

[David Price]

"Hb H F Parsons" and presumably collected by him.

[dawn nelson]

Have edited that, but why do you think he was the collector?

[David Price]

Because if I am making a personal herbarium it is superfluous to record my status as collector, though I would acknowledge the fact if you had collected the specimen. Parsons's sheets convey that impression to me and where R V Tellam and others are not named it seems reasonable to assume that "herb Parsons" specimens were collected by Parsons. A similar example is to be found in Herb Rev A Ley.

I think that as a general rule one should only include information supplied by the original compiler but the scientific process does allow for deductive reasoning.
