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.

Specimen 1:in a bog near ?? Newton; specimen 2: read as Skotty bog but may be wrong

Faiths Newton - aka St Faiths Newton
as in snippet from"The botanist's guide through England and Wales"

and Sketty ?
again as per "The botanist's guide through England and Wales"
where several references to Forster and Carex occur.
