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 locate 'Lakely Carr'

Lakely - a transcription error? Baker's 'North Yorkshire' gives Leckby Carr for this plant.

[oldnick]

Yes - I see a very similar sheet, http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/201959/ and also

Babington's Flora, 1843 edition, has for Scheuchzeria "Lakely Car [sic], Boroughbridge", a locality that can only be Leckby Carr.
