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.

Seems to be clear but as unusually imprecise, suspect I've misinterpreted it. Any better ideas?

It is complicated so I 've corrected it. It is Garway Hill in Herefords
OS Grid reference SO4425

Ley is commenting on the fact that it is flowering in spring and not in the autumn (Its English name is Autumn Crocus!)
