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.

location anyone something bridge?
was this collected by E S Gregory?

[Chris Liffen]

Think that it might be a bridge near St Weonards

OS Grid reference SO485242

there are a number of Ley's specimens from this general area.
E S Gregory was an expert on Viola sp - so she probably advised on taxonomic status of specimen.
