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.

Britton has 2 other sheets same date from 'Coombe' which have been interpreted as Croydon - Coombe Park, Coombe Farm etc towards Addington Hills - but does this fit the 'Raynes Park & District' of the labels?

Coombe Lane, TQ2269, north of Raynes Park.

That is interesting, in view of Britton having several specimens from there; which were previously edited as if near Croydon. I see Coombe on the map around TQ203704, between Kingston on Thames, Wimbledon Common and New Malden, so will set about some editing of Britton specimens. The map shows Coombe Wood, Coombe Hill, and Coombe Brook. As you say, very near Raynes Park; and quite distinct from the various specimens from Coombe Wood Croydon

I see Britton has 45 specimens from Coombe, Surrey, more than half of which have been edited with the Croydon grid ref (TQ36) even though most of them have the printed Raynes Park label. The latter at least, I will set about re-editing to TQ2070
