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.

Collector not named. I had no luck finding the place.

There are several turn of the 19/20 century specimens from the Birmingham area which appear to be associated with this collector; e.g. http://herbariaunited.org/sheets/BIRM/17923.jpg

The locality, Tennal Farm, would seem to be near Harborne -
