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.

Collector, locality?

[mossysal]

Is it just a coincidence? - there is a Benhall near Bridstow, with what looks like a pool at
OS Grid reference SO589249

- not a million miles from Sellack where the 9 year old Augustin was living and being educated?

I think you are right about Benhall. That would suggest that the collector was Purchas, though it's not his handwriting.
