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.

from the date, it could be either Berkshire (Reading) or co. Fermanagh. Another reading might be "five crossroads".

Tetley particularly associated with Fermanagh

At this date Tetley was teaching science in Enniskillen.

The Vascular Plant Register County Fermanagh (2014) [pdf] has several references to 'Bog near Fivepoints Crossroads' and helpfully gives a 6-digit grid ref: H199379 - 6km south of Enniskillen.
