Presumably 'Ex. hort. Miss E. A. Willmott' implies cultivation by Ellen Ann Willmott, in her garden at Warley Place, near Brentwood in Essex, and G.W. Robinson may be Willian Robinson (1838–1935) who influenced her. As 1934 is the year of her death it probably represents the date of submission of the specimen by Robinson, rather than collection.

..or GW Robinson could be the Assistant Curator at Kew, and Curator at Chelsea Physic Garden, who worked for 21 years at old University Botanic Garden Oxford, and died May 1976.
