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.

Site? Saunders' later specimens come mainly from Surrey, where a house called The Greenings is found W of Charlwood at TQ225415

[Roger Horton]

A quotation from London Gazette 9 Dec 1873 [pdf] suggests Greenings was one of Saunders homes:

"In the Matter of Proceedings for Liquidation by Arrangement or Composition with Creditors, instituted by William Wilson Saunders, of Lloyd's Coffee-house, Cornhill, in the city of London, of 26, Cornhill aforesaid, and of Hillfield, Reigate, in the county of Surrey, and of Greenings, in the parish of Charlwood, in the county of Surrey, Underwriter."
