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.

Musselburgh possibly?

[David Price]

The New Atlas shows that this sp. was formerly found as both native and as an alien further to the west of, but not at, Musselburgh. The h/w on the label appears to be that of a curator at Dulwich and the locality could well be a corrupt transcription of "Edinburgh".
