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.

This could be Somerset or Gloucester

This one was attributed to Mr Wheeler and Loc St Vincent's Rocks - Mr Edwin Wheeler listed as born and died in Clifton/bristol & had a herbarium so guess Edwin strong candidate. One doubt the "Mr" looks a bit like Rev which Edwin a homeopath druggist presumably wasn't!....

[Chris Liffen]

The writing on the label looks like that of William Hunt Painter - see http://herbariaunited.org/wiki/William_Hunt_Painter for sample of writing. He was based in Somerset at this time, and received material from a variety of sources.

[Mike d'Apice]

Yep, they match...amended to add Painter's herbrium to this one.

[Chris Liffen]

His C's and V's are quite distinctive
