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.

Anyone know of 'Mr Golobed's(?) garden' ??

[Roger Horton]

A Mr Richards Gotobed is listed as FLS.
A frequent quote is "Polemonium cæruleum On a ditch bank near Windsor, but may possibly be the outcast of a garden. Mr Gotobed", perhaps his own!

[Chris Liffen]

Desmond has a brief note - lived at Eton, contributed lists of Bucks and Berks plants to "Botanists Guide" Dillwyn, 1805. FLS 1800, plants at Oxford herb.

Amazing. Would he nowadays have stayed up late doing h@h?

I see he was a clockmaker:
