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.

Can't find a trace of a Whittle in Essex: Any idea where it is unlessits the collector's name?

You could try Writtle, which is near Chelmsford (Park, mediaeval forest and Agricultural College)

Thanks - looks a good (only) candidate and plenty of Botanical interest pre 1911. Mike d'A
