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.

???? Hall. Unfamiliar/illegible name

This turns up around the year 1856 when Hume and Townsend are associated. I have a feeling it is the monogram of Hume, AOH, with the A and O being combined:

It's Albert John Hambrough 1820-1861, see: http://herbariaunited.org/collector/11175/ - however he has just this sheet from Dumfriesshire, and no others that year; but I have found other such 'anomalies' with him. Hume was aged 27 and possibly in India in 1856.
