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.

Wierd but - I looked for a long time & thought it looked like Roemeria field (not Radnor), the writing looks like Ley. I gathered Roemeria hybrida was formerly a cornfield weed in East Anglia. On looking for specimens I found 2 Ley specimens, from a Sellack garden, seed from Ledbury - http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/277473/
and

Thanks I agree it looks like Ley but the date if that is what it is conflicts think the better part is to leave most fields blank.
