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.

could this be Healey?

[oldnick]

What a choice of Healeys.... Healey near Ossett/Wakefield may be damp enough for this species, with a river and canal, but is the wrong altitude. Healey near Batley; and Healey/Healey Dell near Rochdale are spot-on for altitude, the latter being far the damper, and a more interesting environment - hence seeming more likely - but just outside Yorks, and further from West's home town of Bradford.

Thanks Nick I'll leave it for now and have a think too many choices

[oldnick]

I now suspect Ilkley (not too far from Bradford) similar label on http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/299244/ seems to confirm it
