 |
|
Location, county not known - some of Ferguson's / Audus' sheets are labelled 'Breck Cambridgeshire', suggesting TL66 - Newmarket Heath area; some are just labelled 'Breck', so TL78 (Norfolk/Suffolk) or thereabouts is possible.
However, virtually without exception, none specify Norfolk or Suffolk, and in fact Ferguson has no sheets of any sort in H@H labelled as from Suffolk.
Can all these many specimens (some aquatic) be from Newmarket Heath or someshere nearby?? See also http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/242233/ |

On 10 and 11 May 1935 both Miss Ferguson and L J Audus (at the time PG students of F F Blackman at Cambridge) collected at 'Breck' or 'The Breck'.
Considerable liberties have been taken to shoe-horn that designation into possible localities.
The true locality is given by Audus himself in http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/239801/ : VC26 West Suffolk, Red Lodge, Breck, at TL6970
Though in Suffolk, Red Lodge is very close to the border with Cambs and some specimens may have been collected in Cambs (as stated by Ferguson).
