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.

was H Corder's herbarium in Bayswater?

[mossysal]

No, it refers to HSThompson's garden in Bridgwater.
J. Corder found this plant for the first time in Britain in 1831, and Norton Heath seems to be pretty much its only site.

[Roger Horton]

It was Thomas Corder who first recorded Bupleurum falcatum at Norton Heath, see Watsonia (1994) 20, 115-117 [pdf]. Although the original site there is believed to have been destroyed in 1962, a population was restored in 1988, and extended in 2009, in a roadside strip (OS TL6104), just inside the South Essex vc18 boundary as defined by the old Ongar to Chelmsford turnpike - see Roscoe, Gardiner, & Ringwood (2009).

for interest

[Roger Horton]

There is a specimen of Bupleurum falcatum in the Charles James Fox Bunbury herbarium in Cambridge collected by Lady Blake at a point on the Ongar to Chelmsford turnpike near "the 7th milestone from Chelmsford and the 3rd from Ongar", dated 1838, and referring, on the label, to its discovery by "Mr Corder" some years earlier.

[Chris Liffen]

Seems to be little info on Lady Blake (in the database, nothing in the wiki) - will see what I can find.
Snippet from Flora of Suffolk, by Hind.

[David Price]

Desmond has "Blake, Dame Louisa (1806-1881). Herb. at Ipswich Museum."

Louisa Pilkington was the daughter of Sir Thomas Pilkington, 7th Bt. In August 1830 she married Reverend George Augustus Dawson of Groton, Suffolk, and had a son, Thomas Pilkington Dawson. She married, secondly, in February 1849, Sir Henry Charles Blake, 4th Bt. of Langham, Co. Suffolk, and lived at Bardwell, Suffolk. She died on 28 December 1881 at Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk.

[Roger Horton]

Perhaps I should have linked to Dame Louisa Blake.

Louisa's second husband, Henry Charles Blake was the son of James H Blake (3rd Bt), in turn the son of Sir Patrick Blake (1st Bt) and Annabella Blake née Bunbury, later Mrs Boscawen.

Her brother, Henry William Bunbury, was the father of Henry Edward Bunbury who married Louisa Amelia Fox. Charles James Fox Bunbury was their son.

Despite this distant relationship Lady (Dame Louisa) Blake and Charles seemed to have had a common interest in the flora of East Anglia (his interest extended to the rest of the world). His mother, and his wife Frances also collected, as did his brother Henry, though he most often plants found during the siege of Sebastopol. The Bunburys were also baronets, Charles being the 8th.

[David Price]

Dame Louisa is the style and title of the widow of a baronet tho' known in his lifetime as Lady Blake.
