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.

Strange specimen - note shape of leaves. Label - 'Dry .... flowers'???? Site - West? Bebington (SJ335835)??? to Tam???? Chehire? I suppose a dock area is likely for an alien.

Difficult to see fls but could this be Chenopodium ficifolium?
Can't do place but I think the label says "Dry.. ?... rather small flowers"
[I agree!]
I wonder if the second place name could be Nr Farndon?

Yes it's definitely like a Chenopodium! I'm adding that as the alternative identification; but am wary of putting in a place-name
