I query whether the Gravesend collector's handwriting might be one of the 'Joseph Woods' examples??? - but have found no supporting evidence from other specimens

[David Price]

What about Palmer? http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/342258/ Note the wording of the label.

[oldnick]

Yes that also seems to militate against Woods, though the Atriplex label is a bit more 'spikey' and the G different

[David Price]

I wasn't comparing the hand-writing but the style of wording. I think the collector is Palmer.

[oldnick]

Yes, I think this is cautionary against 'Woods-hunting'
