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.

collector - 'J H Bloore' ? 'I H Bloom' ???

Not much help, but cf http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/318753/

[David Price]

This collector might be Rev J H Bloom (1860 - 1944), Rector of Whitchurch, Warwicks, antiquarian, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Harvey_Bloom).

His 1902-09 entomological notebook relating to Whitchurch, Warwicks, is at the Natural History Museum; he wrote "Shakespeare's Garden" (1903) but I cannot find any other botanical associations.

I see the sheet suggested by Mossysal is identical in layout and handwriting, despite the menu not bringing up anyone called Bloom when I tried ... I am editing them both as J H Bloom (and entering the usual caveat)
