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.

Co Clare or Co Donegal? The former suggested by 'Ecclesiarum ins'. I found no other Irish specimens of Gay, nor of anyone called Webb of the 19C.

HUH gives details of Philip Barker Webb 1793-1854. His 'Herbarium Webbianum' is held in Florence. A well-know on-line book supplier lists 'Notice sur la vie et les travaux de P. B. Webb. Extrait du Bulletin de la Société botanique de France' by Jacques Gay, but it's not in stock!

"In 1851 he returned to England [from Spain], and in August, with his nephew, Godfrey Webb, visited Ireland, and, having received suggestions from his friend the botanist John Ball, explored the west coast from Cork to Killarney, Dingle, Tralee, Limerick, Galway, Roundstone, and the Aranmore Islands."
