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.

I am sure I have heard of Cleves (Yorkshire), but cannot locate it

There is this

I had one the same.

however this appears to be just the name of a 20th Century house

[Chris Liffen]

Bearing in mind Baker's somewhat variable spelling - then Cleaves might be a possibility ??
quote "CLEAVES, a farm house in the township of Sutton-under-Whitestonecliffe, and parish of Felixkirk; 2 miles ESE. of Felixkirk, 3½ miles from Thirsk."

I see Liffen got there first. Cleaves is at SE498836
The circumstantial evidence prompts me to say this is probably ex herb G S West and very possibly also ex herb M M Atwood.
