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 take the collector to be Leefe who has similar sheets eg http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/213934/ Can I take 'Salict. Wob.' as Woburn?? Leefe has a number of sheets so labelled, but none have been edited as Woburn

Thanks very much for that! Now for a spot of editing.

So evidently 'Forbes Salict Wob[urn] b.vii' is a reference to Forbes' catalogue, and doesn't help identify Leefe's site of cultivation - nor whence he received specimens from Darwall

[oldnick]

I see now there is no site of collection, and such sheets as http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/214353/ are labelled 'Received from Mr Borrer many years ago' as well as 'Salict Wob'

For general interest :
Leicester Darwall (Trinity, Cantab, B A, 1835) was priest at Blakeney 1836, then Vicar of Criggion from 1838 - 1890. Then lived at Tenby, died 1897 aged 84.
