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.

Can any one help on the site name and date?

I looked up the grid ref ST 672311, it's Higher Shepton near Shepton Montague, Somerset, so there is no collector's name. The script looks distinctive though! The date looks like 10/5/1966, but the era of the script is more like 1905...... I made a search of the specimens from Shepton Mallet etc but found nothing similar

[qgroom]

Thanks, perhaps another specimen will surface with the collector
