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.

Word before garden on original label and after on rewritten one: Any ideas?

[Chris Liffen]

Left hand label : Is it a reference to Shoolbred's garden, who I believe lived in Chepstow?
The right hand label might read St Arvans, Chepstow - there is a similar label on sheet
http://herbariaunited.org/sheets/BIRM/9695.jpg,
which looks like "Weed in garden, St Arvans, Chepstow"

Not St Arvans, but St Ann's - Shoolbred's house in Chepstow

[Chris Liffen]

well, got the Shoolbred bit - so half right!
