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.

Flazendale, North Yorks: I cannot now certainly remember but it may be near Hawnby SE 58.

As Carex chordorrhiza was not discovered until 1897 and is a rarity confined to Scotland, this specimen should be redetermined.

Could it be Carex dioica L.?
