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.

Clean walk? and Southall manor ?

[David Price]

The label reads: "Cleave Walk, Ross. Southall monstr[avit]"

Cleeve is the southwestern approach to Ross.

Henry Southall (1826-1916), a local draper and botanist, showed (monstravit) the plant to Ley.
