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.

Curator has written "vc 10".

I can now discern with some imagination the word 'pastures'??? VC 10 is a massive clue but has got me no further .... even if I read 'Steep Hill' into the label, south east of that is in the sea! Curiously, I found J H Balfour collected in IOW 3 months later (2 specimens) - see: http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/247937/ - somewhat similar handwriting! http://herbariaunited.org/popupsiginfo.php?sigid=618
all very tenuous
