Three localities, only two barcodes

  • Syntrichia by Syntrichia

    It's not at all clear which label the lower barcode belongs to, or how the lower labels relate to the plants.

    Thank you for flagging this Syntrichia. On closer inspection of the original sheet the barcode and label (Ranmore, Surrey) on the right at the base of the sheet relate to the specimens on the right hand side (pencil lines marked by the curator indicate which specimens labels relate to which specimens on a mixed collection sheet – though these can sometimes be hard to see on the digitised sheets). The other label bottom left, as you suggest, does not appear to relate to a specimen or the other specimens on this sheet.
