That illegible 'Peren..' ? again eg http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/401127/

[Roger Horton]

An abbreviation of perennial?

[oldnick]

Written slightly differently on http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/399307/ - same person's handwriting? where it could mean perennial June???

[Roger Horton]

Compare with (e.g.) sheet 345232 inscribed 'July Aug ♃', the Jupiter sign used by Linnaeus, Willdenow, De Candolle, and others to indicate perennial, but easily misread as 4!

aha! Here's another - pity we don't yet know the collector - the script is distinctive - what's the symbol for annual? http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/400034/
