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.

presumably this is the unknown J H P of many Dulwich College records

Certainly looks like it!

[Roger Horton]

Do you think it says "Mrs" J H Peall? And if so why? Is it Mr JHP giving credit?! If so we cannot assume all JHPs are this collector!

[Chris Liffen]

or (Mrs) J H Teall ?

There was a Teall family, who lived in Rosendale, Dulwich, which included Jethro Harris Teall D Sc OBE. Director of the Geological Survey of Gt Britain.
Dates 1849-1924
He and Mrs Teall were at the Darwin Wallace celebration in 1908

[Chris Liffen]

and Teall (1849-1924) was a member and past President of the Bournemouth Natural History Society

[Roger Horton]

Teall's addresses to the Society during that period included "The Evolution of Igneous Rocks" and "Some Aspects of Egyptian Geology", but no mention of anything botanical.

[Chris Liffen]

I think that I indicated originally that Teall was indeed a geologist.
However, his early education was not devoid of botanical instruction - as indicated by an article in the Geological Magazine


Quite who these various Dulwich sheets should be ascribed to remains problematic.

[Roger Horton]

Could this have been William Lowndes Notcutt? From 'The Chemist and Druggist':

[Chris Liffen]

Mrs Teall was interested in things botanical, and the Tealls and Teesdales were known to each other

This is the first sheet I've seen which has the name Teall and not just initials
