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 is ambiguous

Yes W H Griffin is one of the collectors of lots of Humes sheets

[Chris Liffen]

quote from SLBI website
"in 1894 Hume turned his attention to horticulture, embarking on an intensive study of British flora, employing W.H. Griffin as his botanical assistant in 1901."

Thanks folk.
I doubt if W H G ever thought that his work would be examined over 100 years later outside of the context of Hume's employment.
