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.

I can't find Brimfield in Berkshire. Could it be Binfield?
Also "Herb. Univ. Halensis" doesn't produce any suggestions in the drop-down menu.

I think you're probably right about Binfield, but it may be safer to leave it as is until more specimens come to light and hopefully make it clearer where Britton was. There's already one other Britton specimen from 'Brimfield' collected the same day.

Hallensis is probably the University of Halle-Wittenberg. In this case it's written on a det. slip rather than on the main herbarium label, so probably refers to the institution that Kesting is attached to, rather than being an 'ex herb.' entry in the sense that herb@home uses the term.
