Epping Forest, not localised. Good, copious specimen in Passmore Edwards Museum Herbarium. No acquisition number, but legit: `W.R.Sherrin, 14 November 1925, Epping Forest'. (Located 1982, KJA), Sherrin mentions finding this specimen on the Forest and depositing it in the Club's museum, Essex Nat. 21 p.229 - but frustratingly does not say precisely where he found it, though it must have been somewhere between Theydon Bois and High  Beach (the itinery of the Foray), and is most likely therefore to have been in Vc18. See also Chittenden (date?) for earlier mistaken record.
