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.

User comments about this sheet

keith barnett wrote

date uncertain, April (IV) more likely perhaps

[Chris Liffen]

Think that it reads (as you have indicated) Love Lane, Golden Valley - with 'hairs spreading' written above that, and the date possibly 31/3/1897 - though it could be 30/3/1897 - as the zero appears to be overwritten with a 1. The writing generally seems less 'fluent / clear' than on others specimens from Kitching.

Another Kitching sheet 16/4/1898, http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/254989/ is from 'side of Golden Valley Bewdley' - where Kitching lived
