Could the collector here be J Woods? He's the only collector to have another sheet from Balls Pond, but the handwriting isn't right.

It is h/w from the Hume/SLBI curatorial stable but I don't think one can assume merely from the date/location that the plant is coll. Woods - there are contemporary spmns with apparently original labels in h/w that is someone other than Woods.

Quite possibly Daniel Sharpe - his labels are similar; also hails from the area
