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.

collector: "Mr Holmes"?

This reads to me also as 'Mr Holmes'. I do not know aught of him, but the style of printed sheets I certainly think is one of the many mostly anonymous herb. F S Bennet none of which seem to be from Kent or a Mr Holmes - see http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/303842/

Some similar Holmes sheets have now turned up - likely to be E M Holmes, born Sevenoaks
