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 couldn't locate this grid ref. SJ36 coincides with a small part of Cheshire, barely further than Pulford, but SJ3633 and SJ3336 are both near Ellesmere in Shropshire. I can't find a collector 'J Edmondson' and this is John Richard Edmondson's only specimen

Isn't this johned in an earlier incarnation?

For what it's worth, using the address on the printed label finds:

'Botany of the lower Weaver valley, north Cheshire' T. EDMONDSON, 42 Shepherds Lane, Chester. Watsonia, 11, 225-228 (1977).

thanks!

I now see that Edmondson has other specimens in h@h. A useful solution to the grid ref question comes from http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/378277/ which is labelled from Ellesmere Port with the grid ref SJ33/47. Since SJ47 is the grid ref of Ellesmere Port, by analogy this specimen is from SJ36, the Pulford area - which is in the NE of the grid square
