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 believe 'Tresleford' is Freshford, which is on the River Avon S of Bath and the source of other sheets of this species. The spelling mistake seems unsurprising in view of the mis-spelling of Rothery as 'Rothesay'. The initials at bottom seem to be A O Hume's - he may have been related? See: http://herbariaunited.org/core/forum/viewtopic.php?p=18195#18195 Hume's various sheets of the species seem to have originated from the same batch (same date) and 'Glos' on those sheets seems to me equally a transcription error; though not actually far from VC Glos.
