    I could not see a clear VC number on here. There is some partial writing on the bottom left but cannot make it out.

    In this classification barcode, label, and vice county needed to match-up. After the orchid was identified at the stage of flowering over.

    No species name, no description, but the database does contain a name

    @henry1123 - if you look carefully you can see that each orchid and its corresponding label & bar-code is surrounded by a box.

    I amended the VC number to 16 as per the pencil notation. I'm unable to edit it back to VC15 in concurrence with Syntrichia and transcriber.

    Yes, all have been determined Gymnadenia borealis and were collected from the same locality

    Thanks, likely placed as protection when the specimen was originally mounted!

    Colour tends to fade in dried specimens, seems particularly true for our British orchids, nice when colour preserved as in this1847 specimen

    Are these all the same species?

    There appears to be a sheet of waxed paper over the sample page.

    One of the specimens had been decapitated, only partial stem and root. Not able to say so.
