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.

additional illegible information on the lable.
The date looks like 1806, but this would be before the collector was born and the accepted date of discovery of this sp.

Arthur Bennett lived in Croydon and tended to grow specimens in his garden - hence the 'hort Croydon'. The date is 1886, he writes 8's 'lying down'.
