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.

Aberaeron seems the most likely site? MMA collected there a number of times, eg see

Atwood spent part of her early life at Aberaeron. Euphorbia and Polygonum seem to have been among her favourites though she is best known for having discovered Sorbus bristoliensis and for her correspondence with Watson and William Mudd.
