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 can't locate a 'Bolt Head, Cornwall'. Bolt Head. S Devon is near Salcombe and not near Cornwall

I'm not sure how much faith we can put in these transcribed labels. Sheet 258824 has an original label with written 'F. Morris' but which has been transcribed as 'J. Morris' and documented as 'James Morris'.

The original label here could be 'Boll Head'. Apparently Cornish for Delabole is Delyow Boll, and there is Delabole Point (OS SX027820), which might fit.

Morris also collected at Helston. The only 'B' Head in the area I can see is Baulk Head (OS SW654221). Not much help I'm afraid.
