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.

No collector detailed; Location looks like "Freverraumea Farm St Weanards (VC £1)" none of which seem to be close to a real places??

where A Ley was Vicar after 1878. The notation refers to Ley's divisions of Herefordshire.

Thanks - Found St W - so guess the farm might be Treferanon which is near by and seems the nearest fit.... Interesting re Gregory. Amended. Regards Mike d'A
