N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

is this ex herb Charles? or is Charles the collector? or does it say something else?

I suspect it says "Chawles" and there are about 8 / 10 sheets ascribed / associated with Chawles but there does not appear to be a Chawles listed in Desmond's Botanists .........

In 'The Wild Flora of Kew Gardens and Pleasure Grounds'. Journal of Botany 13 (1875) George Nicholson acknowledges help from, inter alia, Mr A. Choules, apparently a member of staff at Kew.
