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.

It seems likely that this is from Dunmore, Co Waterford as most of the other Dunmores are not coastal?

Dunmore / Dunmore East's proximity to the holiday destination of Tramore also makes it a likely collecting place. The other h@h species from there same month are mostly 'chalk downland' plants - I don't know if that matches up

On searching, there is a specimen from Tramore same month, however the sheets of this collector are multitudinous and none state a county, many of the place-names being ambiguous! Just those from 5/1881 are numerous and widespread. For instance, Ballinakill - which like Dunmore has one of its incarnations in Laois (S47 and S48 respectively). Local knowledge needed! (I was so struck by the parallel with the anonymous 'Lickey Hills' collector of BIRM that I compared the handwriting - spookily similar. http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/276877/ twenty years later though)
