qgroom wrote

Perhaps collected by a family member of Augustin Ley as he is a known associate of Lester Vallis Lester-Garland

[David Price]

But the association with Augustin Ley is spurious as it is based on plants collected by L V Lester (sic) and acquired by Ley through the Exchange Club.

[qgroom]

It was a red herring then, perhaps other specimens will emerge from E M Ley and make the situation more clear.
