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.

I think Shropshire is unlikely.

Is 'Hampton' ever used as an abbreviation for Wolverhampton?? Wilkinson has several collections this month from 'Hampton' unlocalised (and 'Knowle' unlocalised; plus 2 from Wolverhampton, and others from Staffs, Warwks & Worcs. Yet his most usual area is Sussex (no Hampton there).

There is another specimen Butomus umbellatus with the same location, but it also says Bradnock Marsh. This is near Hampton in Arden. SP2181
