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.

I'm wondering who we now think 'Chawles' is; both Chawles and Choules seem to have vanished from the menu. S G Charles is 20thC, Wye Valley.

Mr A Choules seems to still be there
Staff member at Kew, and Orchid hunter in Surrey - see Gardeners Chronicle 1872, p 466

ps he might have been one time gardener to Lady Guildford; he found a 'new'variety of the fern, Polystichum A history of british ferns by Edward Newman

'Chawles' wasn't displayed on the list, but the entry still exists:

None of the 'Chawles' specimens have date or location.
