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.

How about Charles Bailey, of Gloucestershire- See his hand writing on his page http://herbariaunited.org/collector/2308/ and on http://herbariaunited.org/specimen/214903/?image a specimen that seems to have been documented by Bailey before moving on to Manchester... The style, especially his Hs, seems similar and he was presumably after Helliborus sp then...??

Didn't Bailey always favour a printed label?

This collector has given the plant's vernacular name in inverted commas which could be a personal trait.
