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.

Source given as Protheroe & Morris. Not clear if P & M is a nursery, collectors, private individuals, or other.

[David Price]

Messrs. Protheroe & Morris occupied a considerable part of the Bourne Estate, which comprised a large portion of Leytonstone, for their extensive nurseries. Messrs. Protheroe, senior and junior, lived at "Bourne House" for many years and both died there.

Thanks. On a quick google search, there are references to Protheroe & Morris nurseries (latest one 1947) and P & M auctioneers, specializing in plant sales (latest one 1962), so it seems likely the plant was grown from stock originally from one of these sources.
