N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

I am suggesting J Picquet as the collector, having found 2 specimens of his handwriting - which is rather variable but sufficiently similar

I reckon it's old Ley's handwriting; and didn't Piquet collect only in Jersey?
Rev J Pagan collected thereabouts (ie vc88) in the early 1870s; could he be "JP"?

I've edited with your candidate - thanks. My interpretation of some of these handwritings is certainly a pitfall! Having looked up Pagan I find one of his own labels, with a very close match to this one http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/230069/?image
I cursed to realise that on entering initials, the menu that comes up is far from comprehensive, your friend Pagan did not appear when I entered J P - only when I entered his name....!
