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.

Made some assumptions Ley was in great Doward around this time and could the 'north gate' refer to the church yard? or is this to far?

The ESS initials are probably ESG
for Mrs Eliza Standerwick Gregory (1840-1932) who was an expert on Viola sp

Think that it says "grooved with retrorse point, upper leaves prolonged, sub-acute"

Great Doward? No. Ley says "D1": District 1, the St Weonards District (I have previously posted the details of the Herefordshire Districts); Great Doward is D4.
