Any clue to collector? Anyone recognbise handwriting?

[hallucigenia]

I think it is that of A S Montgomery I spent some time a few days ago looking at sheets from Monk meadow Gloucester as there were several sheets 'unsigned', I finally found one by A S M signed and comparing the hand writing decided it was his.
He only has 14 records so far.

are these the signed labels?
spelling seems to be Montgomrey on the labels ..... ? which would suggest Archibald Sim Montgomrey. Though he is named as collector, it is not clear if this is his hand writing.


and from Journal of Botany 1914

He was a member of the Cotteswold Naturalists' Field

I think that some of his papers / sheets passed to the Cheltenham Museum
