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.

A W S taken as Stelfox; WX taken as Wexford

[Roger Horton]

Several Stelfox specimens marked 'Grown in garden'. Others are 'AW Stelfox ex hort.' This implies cultivated by him. He lived in Dublin and, after 1956, Newcastle, Co. Down. David Price found the following. Had Stelfox had a similar garden in Dublin?

"In 1956 the Stelfoxes moved from Dublin to Newcastle, Co. Down, where they laid out unaided a charming garden at the foot of the Mournes. He had a wonderful knowledge of the Irish flora, and took a special delight in mountain plants. Many of them now grow in his remarkable garden at No. 21, Tullybrannigan Road, a kind of private botanical garden especially rich in sedges and willows."
