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.

Any idea of the location? - Somewhere in Co Mayo?

I noticed the year is 1876, and the collector is Dr Frazer, London Botanical Exchange Club. I found collections of this species by Dr Joannis Fraser from Co Mayo in April 1876 eg

but have not yet found one which properly names the site, though no doubt there are many other sheets of this collection to search. Although you have entered 'cultivated' I do not think this is correct.
