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.

Ermshell? anyone know this location please

As you suggest, the initial letter could be G - and hence Gomshall.

Mennell's other specimens of Cyperus fuscus are from Guildford and Shalford, which may well support the reading of Gomshall
