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.

Can anyone make sense of the (apparently clearly written) locality: Dunlaih, sandhills behind Rosendael

[David Price]

Cole collected in Somerset so it is possible the locality is Berrow (where plant would have been an escape).

The reference to Lincs is to a holding Institution.

[oldnick]

I suspect Rosendael which is in Dunkirk close to the dunes (sandhills); I couldn't find Duntaih, but again the name suggests dunes; the label seems to be inscribed 'non-Lincs specimen' (in red).

[oldnick]

'Dunlaih' could arise from successive mis-copying of Dunkirk

[David Price]

Rosendael is a house (built 1850; now veterans' sheltered housing) at Broughty Ferry, Dundee, NO43.
