Field Collection Notes
E. Boissier - L. Leresche - E. Levier. Iter Hispanico-Lusitanicum 1878 [Spain-Portugal Trip, 1878]. [Unsure on specific location of Hoyohuelos, however it is mentioned in Leresche and Levier's book "LE NORD DE L'ESPAGNE ET LE PORTUGAL EN 1878 ET 1879" - see Curator Notes for link - believe the general location of coordinates is correct].
