http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/319857/ is ex herb H G Carroll.
Is his the handwriting from those neat but anonymous Dublin sheets we've been seeing? eg http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/319840/
Although species name is not in the same Gothic style, note the heading at top of Drosera sheet. The Drosera sheet has lost part of its bottom edge, and I wonder could this be what has happened to the 'anonymous' sheets? On searching, H@H does not have any other H G Carroll sheets.

The handwriting on the two sheets mentioned is that of two different people (note e.g. the slant of the writing and the formation of the lower-case 'd'). Apart from a mention in the Checklist on the GLASRA site at http://www.botanicgardens.ie/glasra/ns3_1.htm and his dates (?1825-1902) from Kent & Allen I can find no other reference to Carroll.

Doubtless you're right, but I'm not sure why you refer to 'handwriting' whereas the writing is mostly calligraphic and therefore could involve deliberately different scripts

Because I'm looking at personality traits.
