Robert Pocock's Papaver hybridum at the SLBI

The annotation on the herbarium sheet of Papaver hybridum. Collected by Pocock in 1820. Perhaps given to (or in exchange) Sir J Bennett. Or this could be a sheet that was removed from Pocock's herbarium on his death. The sheet is now in the South London Botanical Society Herbarium having passed through the collections of R R Hutchinson and the Croydon Natural History Society.

There used to be arable fields in Denton!
