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.

User comments about this sheet

Labelled 'Edenbridge West Kent' but I suspect Beeby's labelling was somehow confused - his other specimens that date are from places around his frequent site of Hedge Court, where there is an Eden House, Stream, and various bridges. He wrote 'West Kent' over a different County, perhaps E Sussex which Hedge Court is on the Surrey boundary of.

[Stephen Lemon]

The original Edenbridge location in Vice County 16 (West Kent) looks to be the correct one as Beeby's discovery of the species at Edenbridge in Kent is in the Journal of Botany of 1880, reported there as abundant in the spring within hedge-banks near Edenbridge and noted south of the railway by the Edenbridge-Penshurst road (see also the write up for this species in the draft Kent Rare Plant Register by Geoffrey Kitchener).

Thanks!
