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.

There is
no hand written name of collecter, however the typed label reads Breach followed
by Hutchinson who has Bequested the sheet in 1951. Is N?. b. j. Breach the
collector. Also the date of collection is unclear if the numbers are 1839 or
1857

[David Price]

The label says "Hb [the Herbarium of] J Breach".

Do a specimen search naming J Breach and you will see that there are many specimens collected between 1832 & 1838 by J Breach which formed his herbarium which was subsequently bequeathed by R R Hutchinson to Croydon NHSS.

This spmn was coll 1837.
