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 collector is a guess, from the initials E.G.G. at the bottom.
A Bloxham may be Rev. Andrew Bloxham, 1801-1878
No obvious site

Collected by Bloxam c.1845 (cf. http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/332293/) and detd by Dr Gilbert (who seems to have been interested in Rubus 1901-11).

There is another det slip initialled 'WW'. Who is he? I have also seen these initials on a recent SLBI sheet.
