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.

Any ideas about the locality?

Maybe - Lousley's handwriting on this similar sheet is certainly alike, site in Surrey - http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/235020/[/i]

Haughead, Midlothian vc 83 see http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/232640/

I agree Lousley's h/w. Was Lousley the collector? However, on other similarly dated sheets bearing the same ref. no 27, the letter "K" has been interpreted as 'coll. Kew'.
