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.

Not very legible - similar label http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/230752/ same date has been read as Owston Wood, S of Owston at SK7706; though could possibly be Cold Overton Park Wood just W of Oakham at SK8208?

NatureSpot page for Owston Wood says "Leicestershire's largest semi-natural ancient woodland". SSSI since 1956.
