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.

I'm having trouble with both these labels. The handwriting on right suggests Joseph Woods as collector, and I seem to recall him having 'Coomb' on other labels (? Pebble Coombe near Buckland TQ213528' or Coombe Head near Grayswood SU903349) but can't now find any specimens linking Woods or Townsend with such a place. I didn't know where to start with ?'Westowe'

Spelling was quite variable mid C19th.
Right hand label seems to be Joseph Woods' script
