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.

Having trouble reading this does it say Brecon? is the date 1883?

Yes, Pen y Wylt = modern Penwyllt
OS Grid reference SN8515

It could also be a 5 or an 8, don't you think? He was in the area every year from 1883-1888 incl. so that doesn't help!

[chrisu]

I think the date could be any of those numbers! 3, 5 or 8

I've had another look at the specimen search for Ley for 1883-1888 and you were right the first time, I think, as 1883 was the only year he collected as early as May.
