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.

Herbarium is 'Herbarium Bentham 1828' which I've assumed is George Bentham
Can't read placename something like 'Neath in Dr Prod' [??]
County is described as 'Anglia'

[Roger Horton]

Perhaps not a place name but 'Benth in DC Prod' i.e. Bentham in De Candolle Prodomus - an early taxonomic system, before Bentham & Hooker. Perhaps this implies that Bentham referred back to DC. Anglia = England.
