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.

Can anyone make out the location please?

[oldnick]

Langley Kitching was evidently in Kent that week, at Kemsing and Malling; the spelling looked like Igham, Iopsham, Topham or something else non-existent, the nearest I could find being Higham which it obviously isn't! I recall there are several unusual place names in Kent beginning with I such as Ifield, so still scope to search maybe, eg round Kempsing?

Perhaps a variant on Ightham, which is only a few miles away from Kemsing

You were right, it is Ightham - as per Kitching sheet same date, http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/294222/
