Collector - pencil note bottom right of label - Wm Brooke?? Wm Burke?? Note in ink - 'ex Kent' ??

[David Price]

Note in ink is "ex herb ?": its author as perplexed as you by the pencilled attribution that may read 'Burke'. Might a contemporary Flora of Wicklow (if there be one) throw any light on the collector's identity?
