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.

Collector initials only. Location read as Luston Marsh, but may be wrong.

[Chris Liffen]

A H = Albert Hambrough

location probably Easton Marsh, Freshwater

OS Grid reference SZ344864

[Roger Horton]

This may read Easton Marsh. There is a marsh adjacent to Easton Lane which is a nature reserve now called Afton Marsh at OS SZ344867.

Another specimen http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/341839/ from Freshwater, 3/1849, with initials AH has been reliably attributed to Albert John Hambrough (which may be Hamburgh!!)

[Chris Liffen]

Hambrough is referenced extensively in the Flora Vectensis.

As are the marshes at Easton

[oldnick]

http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/353775/ gives an example of 'A Hamburgh' evidently in his cousin's own handwriting - not known for mis-spellings.
