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.

Collected from Haseley Common by H Bromwich, cult by S H Bickham at 'Underdown', Ledbury (his abode) - I've edited in

Yes, Haseley, as it appears on OS maps since 1805, but C. Smith, 'New Map of Great Britain and Ireland' - 'Southern England', 1806, has Hazeley!

Early OS maps have Haseley Common at about SP228702, now the Five Ways roundabout on A4141/A4177, so 10km square SP27.
