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 have forgotten how to decode the four-figure dates on Townsend specimens. Help please!

Think this was collected by Woods -
then his herbarium passed to Townsend on his death,
and then finally to SLBI.
