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.

The name of the collector, "Annesley", on the MS label leads me to the following (also mentioned by Simpson) -

MS 5/27 A manuscript volume, in the hand of J.P.Jones, labelled `Plants of Hampshire', c. 1830
The first page is entitled `A catalogue of plants growing wild near Andover, and other parts of the county of Hants'. Jones has added the note `This list was drawn up by the Honorable and Revd William Annesley AM, who resided at Ramridge near Andover, where he died November 1st 1830 aet. 35. Mr A. was a good botanist and accurate observer, and his habitats may be depended on. Where no particular locality is given, the habitat must be considered as being near Andover.'

He was the second son of (and predeceased) George Annesley, 2nd Earl of Mountnorris and Viscount Valentia (1769-1844) mentioned in Britten & Boulger.
