The initials ESG (sometimes mistaken for ESS) turn up on H@H sheets - particularly Viola sheets. The initials are those of Eliza Standerwick Gregory. She spans a considerable number of years - botanically speaking; there is evidence of her work from the late 1870s up to about 1910 (on H@H sheets); she contributed to various journals up to the 1930's.
She published a monograph on 'British Violets' (1912), and contributed papers to learned journals - such as 'Seed production in Violets' in the Journal of Botany (British & Foreign) Volume 45.
Her son Reginald Philip was born in 1879; he went on to become a lecturer in genetics at Cambridge and published papers on Primula. She died in Weston super Mare in 1932.
Eliza Standerwick Gregory née BARNES (6/12/1840-22/3/1932)
