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.

User comments about this sheet

mossysal wrote

This looks very like Totton, Sussex but Totton is in VC11 and is some 25 miles away from another Sussex record, from Bognor.

I read this as "Totterdown, Tooting Cmn". There is a present-day Totterdown Street in Tooting.

Is the collector Thomas Cox of Ellesmere, discoverer in 1854 of Nuphar pumila in Shropshire?

Thanks. I read it as two separate [unallocated] locations but this makes much better sense. There are other Cox sheets on H@H from Sussex, but most are from [modern] SW London. I can't find anything else about him - his H@H sheets are all in the 1890s.
