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 couldn't read Herbarium name

[Tom Humphrey]

Unfortunately this is a very mixed up sheet with a lot of barcodes and I think that K000790168 relates the Plantae Helveticae label rather than the Cambridge specimen directly above it.

The herbarium stamp is Herb. Hookerianum 1867 - which I think refers the purchase of W J Hooker's collection soon after his death (1865).

(I'm hoping someone can shed some light on the Plantae Helveticae label, which also states Pr. Genevam - I think my understanding of this as a specimen from Geneva as part of the flora of Greece must be flawed...)

Definitely flawed...

Switzerland not Greece
