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.

anyone recognise the collector?

[David Price]

No; but he collected with F K Jones in 1894 see http://herbariaunited.org/core/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7831

This spmn is C. damasonium. If you look at the other HeHo spmns of C. longifolia (though many of them are in fact C. damasonium wrongly named C. longifolia) you will see the startling difference between the two spp.

so what do we do about a mis-identification there was another like this that I thought was C. dam not C. long?
