HHH?

[Chris Liffen]

The hand writing sometimes comes with an annotation in pencil - H H Haines. The specimens range over a period of 40+ years, and includes periods when Haines was Conservator of Forests in India.
However, there were various members of the Haines family who collected plants and insects, including his brother and his nieces.
At the moment, it is probably best to ascribe such sheets as ex herb Haines - as they may be associated with the family - though the actual provenance remains a bit of a mystery.
