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.

I can't make out first word(S) of habitat; "plogscumen????" at Kenilworth- Any ideas?

Its not a g - the tail is the top of the letter below. The letters are partly obscured. I can't read the word below. Hayes & Bloxam don't usually give any detail about sites! This plant can grow in gardens or at least by little drains. After gazing for a while, I thought housename - Pleascumin!

[Mike d'Apice]

That seems plausible, though as Royal Mail DB doesn't list it a later occupant must have realised it was an awful name! Thanks, amended. Mike d'A

What about Pleasance Farm/The Pleasance?
OS Grid reference SP2672

[Mike d'Apice]

Yep, that looks a much better resolution. Thanks, Mike d'A -
