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.

did Woods ever get spp. from abroad?

I've changed my mind about the place name and put it back to Mont Cenis (although so far there aren't other foreign Woods specimens - unless some of the other Lewes are misread) - perhaps he did the grand tour.

[Tom Humphrey]

Further to my previous reply I've realized that I wasn't using the search pages correctly (a default 'Great Britain' filter was set).

There are Woods specimens from France and Italy, including others from Mont Cenis.

I've updated the specimen again.

The following passage is an extract from the Wikipedia account of Joseph Woods -

".... immediately after the end of the Napoleonic Wars, he was able to travel throughout the Continent and visited France, Switzerland, and Italy, studying their architecture and botany."

[Chris Liffen]

or from Meiosis
"In connection with his work he travelled quite extensively in continental Europe. By quite early on he had become a keen amateur botanist, and he gradually built on this to contribute scientific papers to journals and learned societies on plant systematics."
and
"On retirement from architecture he moved to live in Lewes in East Sussex, and devoted much of his time to botanical studies. ‘The Tourists Flora. A Descriptive Catalogue of the Flowering Plants and Ferns of the British Islands, France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and the Italian Islands’ (1850), was one product of this time.
