collector assumed to be 'Hayes or Bloxam' on basis of familiar locality

[David Price]

Not because it says "Hayes or Bloxam" on the label?

Errmmm..... I must admit to erring on the side of caution - the H or B sheets tend to have sparse info, and as the collections are from far & wide and rarely name a collector (admittedly I've just seen one that does http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/285718/), I've assumed H or B omit the name (admittedly this would not apply to Ley or MAB, but I've assumed it does to one or two others - like our princely friend, and P B Mason??). However some of the H or B haunts are so regular eg Kenilworth, I'm coming to think of all the Warwicks collections being presumably theirs. But perhaps I should abandon all this caution, and take it that 'presented by' equals collected by?
