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.

Note that this exact specimen page has already been completed: http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/320696/. Discovered this while trying to sort out the Carlton/Charlton Hill issue and which Graves the collector must be....

[oldnick]

Graves' Carlton Hill location seems a mystery - how did Shropshire come up?

[David Price]

Fumaria parviflora grows mostly south of a line drawn from Dorset to the Wash but was formerly found around Edinburgh.

Examining (here on H@H) John Ralfs's collection one sees a number of specimens from the Edinburgh area collected in the 1830s by "Mr Graves".

Could this be George Graves (fl. ca. 1777 - 1834)?

Could the locality be Calton Hill, NT27 ?
