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.

Although there is no way of being certain of the exact site from the description given by Marshall, the floodplain meadow at TQ511456 seems a likely location. It is is crossed by public footpaths and has abundant Taraxacum. This is also a possible location for the Carex vulpina specimen which Marshall collected on the same day.
