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 couldn't find anywhere called 'Rieverwood' - the only other Druce specimens from Berks around this time are from Cothill and Newbury

Note on sheet 271503 "Rivar Wood was formally known as Riever Wood (see: THE BOTANIST IN BERKSHIRE, A PLANT-HUNTER’S GUIDE by MICHAEL J. CRAWLEY)", so OS SU3562, where it is called Rivar Copse. The old name just visible east of Ham on the OS 1st series, when zoomed in.

Thanks very much - can't think how you tracked it down
