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.

Location 'Rekam'? Alfred Loydell collected 11/6/1902 at Saint Lawrence, IoW, and all railway banks would be north and east of there, but I cannot trace the name.

[David Price]

Between St Lawrence and Steephill the railway passed Pelham Wood.

I suggest 'Rekam' (or Reham) is an error for Pelham.

Examination of Sherrin's handwriting on labels of ex herb Loydell plants shews that Sherrin wrote 'Loydel' for Loydell and 'Lawerance' for Lawrence so correct spelling was not his forte.
