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.

I am finding it difficult to read the pencil label, which includes the word 'bach' and (on the second line) Tybyn-y Gwynt

[oldnick]

2 labels - 'Mill Dingle July' and 'Between Tybyn y bach & Tybyn y gwynt & ............... VI 1798' I'm afraid I can't find where the Tybyns (Tyddyns?) are, though I've seen them on h@h sheets before, nor Mill Dingle.

Are not these sites likely to be within Davies's sometime parish of Abergwyngregen, Caerns?

[Roger Horton]

Hugh Davies in Welsh Botanology (a flora of Anglesey) 1813 page 85 appears to refer to the last named place on the label, and to Mill Dingle:

"C. remota; Remote Sedge; Hesgen anghyfagos v. vi. In Caeau 'r Ychen, and mill dingle, near Beaumaris."

The only clue I can find to the dingle is that Cwm-'r-allt-goch (west of the town OS SH595758) was once mapped as Dingle Covert and just to the north was a mill race.

Tyddyn y gwynt is shown on the Streetmap 1:2500 map at SH609788, close to Pont y Brenhin just south of Llangoed.
