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.

Very complex labels, at least 3 . Specimen appears to have belonged to A.O.Hume and been transferred to F.Townsend

Townsend's collection / herbarium passed largely to Hume / SLBI.

William Borrer appears to be the original collector, 1846.

The note beneath his name seems to say
Flintshire, Cyb(ele) Brit(annica) p 158
below is the reference from Watson's Cybele

I assume that this specimen is coll. Borrer and ex herb Woods, so can we take it that the date is 1846?
