[WH Purchas; note attached to sheet, from which entry in Botanical Exchange Club report is derived in part, see below] [ie. Pyrus semipinnata; note that Dr. Boswell's identification would actually appear to have been Pyrus pinnatifida semipinnata Boswell] 'Sent from a shrubbery at Yetholm, Roxburgh, June 26th, 1879, by Mr. A. BROTHERSTON; also from a garden tree at Alstonfield, Staffordshire, by Rev. W.H. PURCHAS. Both plants are accepted by Dr. Boswell as what he intends by the above name.'
