notes:[Whilst the sheet indicates the plant was probably collected in Vice County 14, the V-C 14 and 16 border at Furnace Pond appears to lie along its southern edge, with roadside access on the Vice County 16 northern side. As most of the pond is therefore arguably in Kent than Sussex and the sheet refers to Cowden in Kent, on balance its more probable the plant was collected in Kent.]

Inferred details are marked.
