assume Ley is collector
there is a comment (H D 11)[?] - could this be collector?

H.D.11 is Herefordshire District 11. See http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=a_AYAAAAYAAJ&dq=flora+of+herefordshire&printsec=frontcover&source=bl&ots=QD1XyZ0ZBS&sig=BVpiGlTY8mzfHpVzQ4qkHSa-alE&hl=en&ei=GLS-SayoJcGltgfwg8H4Cw&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=1&ct=result#v=onepage&q=&f=false

Ley habitually named a collector other than himself. The label is in his hand & one can safely assume he was the collector.
