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.

"Near Thirsk" was a later(?) addition. Not convinced he means this "Newby", the only one I can find near Thirsk but has no sign of or record of an area of Carr there. Any one know of a better one?....

In his magnificent 'North Yorkshire' (1863) J G Baker refers to Newby Wiske carr and to Oenanthe phellandrium growing there. The carr, he says, is like one of the Cambridgeshire or Huntingdonshire fens upon a small scale and is one of the best stations for hygrophilous plants in North Yorkshire.

Hadn't thought to look at the "Newby + somethingelses". The N W Carr must be this one. Thanks, Amended, Mike d'A
