| notes: | A large label with these specimens (written by Barclay ?) gives collector as Dr FB White with no locality, but a small one written by White himself seems to say 'Marshall 29.6.1888'. There are other specimens in the herbarium collected by Rev Marshall at Beinn Dubhcraig (NN3025) on this date, so these may have the same origin. Furthermore, other herbarium specimens show that Dr White was far from any place where Carex vaginata (one of these specimens) would be found. |
