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 couldn't find 'Pailey Downs' - nor any H@H specimens of 'E Straker'

"My friend the late E. Straker .... " from 'Notes on British Potamogetons' by Arthur Bennett; Journal of Botany 57 p.16 (1919).

I think Pailey Down could be Purley Down - it was Straker's patch [and Bennett's].
