'Llandrindon' does not exist & the nearest date currently on H@H that LK collected was a week earlier, at Aberystwyth

Llandrindod is not a difficult journey from Aberystwyth (about 50 miles). I think he went to stay there at the end of his month in Wales. There is a very fine sequence/resume of it by searching specimens for 8/1898 and 9/1898.

I am puzzled by the three from Worcs for that month, though as two of them are from the station, I think he must have collected them on his way there from Rosenhurst!
