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.

Specimen 1: locality Carelew? Collector Warren? Specimen 2: can't read variety, system queries date for Ralfs

[Roger Horton]

I think specimen 1 is from Carclew Falmouth - a house/country estate above the Restronguet Creek (OS SW7838). The collector may be Miss (written like Mifs) Warren - she has a set of collections on sheet 342338 from Mylor close by.

Ralfs' dates are given as 13/9/1807-14/7/1890 but the signature here does not look like the sample of his in the database. Perhaps there is a transcription error here when the two specimens were combined. By Miss Warren?
