I am intrigued since there is no record in New Atlas of this species from this part of the world. There are not any other A Ley sheets of this species from the county, though there is a good crop of other species on and around this date, from the Wadenhoe area. I don't know what (Roots) refers to.

Hi, Nick,
There is a post-2000 record in TL27 which is not all that far away (30km) It would have been more widespread in earlier times. For instance there is another P elatior sheet from Shropshire with no modern record, in SJ40. There isn't a single dot in SJ in the BSBI records! I asked Tom about getting H@H sheets into the NBN but there is apparently no easy way yet.
