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.

It is reaching a bit, but I think this is more likely to be in Gloucester itself. It is a wool alien so likely to be near the docks? (Plus other sheets of his from this month are from Gloucester city) There is definitely an "r" in Severn, so not Sevenhampton.

This is not a guessing game. If there is insufficient information on the label one is not entitled to manufacture it though it is permissible to adduce convincing circumstantial evidence.

http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/310961/ , also dated 9/1865, where the label says "Gloucester, SO81, on banks of the Severn nr Gloucester".

Fl. Glos. (1948) says of Salsola pestifera (as this taxon was then named) "Gloucester Docks and waste ground by the Severn and the Ship Canal, 1865, Hb Brody.

Spending an hour or so from time to time browsing H@H or the botanical literature of the past (Journal of Botany, the Phytologist, Proceedings of Botanical Societies of London and of Edinburgh) on-line is a useful way of familiarising oneself with the world of the botanists whose specimens we see here.
