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.

I couldn't identify 'Stagstown', which is written more clearly on: http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/400951/ These are the only 2 specimens with the name 'S Foot' which is uncertain, as barely legible

[Roger Horton]

Cybele hibernica has 'Stagstown, south of Rathfarnham, Dublin' as a location where S. Foot found Galium erectum. Rathfarnham grid ref. O1427.

Simon Foot of Holly Park (now St Columba's College), Rathfarnham was an antecedent of Michael Foot the British Labour politician.

[Roger Horton]

Another Foot specimen (403429) from Holly Park itself.

Holly Park is shown on the old 6" map (grid ref. O1525).
