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.

The place name looks like Datson - but no such place appears to exist. Also uncertain of the date of identification.

Dutson is a very small village (possibly just a farm) NE of Lawnceston. (I found it by typing the name into Google - which lists a few entries for Dutson, Cornwall. William Wise lived in Launceston.

Place name is Dutson which is just outside Launceston, E Cornwall and is in the area William Wise collected in. Margetts' ID date has to be 18/12/1977, hasn't it?
