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.

Placename? Brawstone?

Hmmm. going by the plant's preferred habitat and the place name, I can't suggest better than Branston, Linconshire. Harris recorded in Norfolk but not [so far] in Lincolnshire. And it's a bit far inland.
OS Grid reference TF0869

. No records with BSBI either.

52 NOTES ON A SALT-MARSH AT BRANSTON.

Branston was first recorded by the late Mr. Edwin Brown, with
the exception of Samolus Valerandi, which we discovered there
in 1889. Triglochin maritimum, the Sea Arrow-grass, was also
noted by the same observer ; but this observation we have been
unable to confirm, in spite of very careful search, and we can
only imagine that the plant has now become extinct. It is an
undoubted maritime plant.

Thanks, Chris. That took me straight there. An interesting trail!
