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.

this handwriting looks familiar - anyone recognise it (& subsequently the location)??

[David Price]

See http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/272609/ which is why it looks familiar; and http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/276856/ and there are others. Perhaps the new Flora of Worcestershire will contain some clues.

Some memory! If this mysterious person of the fastidious handwriting is a Worcs person, then this Beacon Hill may be at SO985755
in the 'Lickey Hills Country Park'.

[David Price]

That could well be - see http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/276877/
