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.

is the location for this specimen Deepdale?

[David Price]

Yes.

This specimen probably collected by Wm West cf http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/273078/

I don't know what "Yelland" means.

[Chris Liffen]

Might it be that it reads Elland ? the E is different from those in Deepdale.
Elland is a type of rock found in parts of Yorkshire = Elland Flagstone or Green Moor Rock, once quarried near Huddersfield

I thought it said Elland, but was thinking of the place in Calderdale and didn't realise it was a type of rock - you learn something new every day!
