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.

Fairly sure J W White is the collector, though no close matching script found. Any better match?

Yep, TWT is much closer on all counts. Amended. Thanks.

Just been looking through some of the Leckhampton H@H specimens from early 1900s: Seems signing/recording the collector is rare, however a lot of the unsigned ones seem to have the same layout and script Family bottom left, Genus Sp and loc bottom right all in same neat twirly script.. Two of which have the faint pencilled "Mont" bottom centre... if so in absence of anything definite to indicate otherwise should not most with this layout, like this one, be ascribed as "from" A S Montgomery's, or rather Archibald Sim Montgomrey collection (if not necessarily collected by him)?
