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.

There may be two specimens on this sheet the one from Mansfield, and one from Ravenhurst, There is a Ravenhurst Fields in Birmingham, there is another specimen from this place [Veronica arvensis] comments please?

[oldnick]

Another Jordan sheet same month is from 'Ravenhurst field Edgbaston' http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/262436/ - though that is a transcribed label, not an original. All map refs and interweb refs seem to lead to that area, and Ravenhurst Road is part of an Edwardian(?) development at SP032850

[Roger Horton]

William Dargue - A History of Birmingham Places & Placenames has Ravenhurst, Harborne, 'at the the junction of Gillhurst Road and Ravenhurst Road', which is OS SP030853, and mentions playing fields.

S Stille noted Ravenhurst some time back - quote
"As noted some time ago, there are several sheets of Jordan’s labelled ‘Ravenhurst’, and there is a Ravenhurst Fields in Knightlow Road, Harborne, SP0285 which was at one time a cricket ground, and nearby Ravenshurst Road, Harborne.

This seems a highly likely place for Jordan as an academic, and family to live – is there any further knowledge about it? I see Edgbaston above – which is almost the same area?"

The family first lived at Ladywell and then moved to Edgebaston. He held the post of Professor of Comparative Anatomy at Birmingham

The specimen was collected some years before the site became playing fields
