Bot. 10: 314-316. 1 Oct 1872 (rev.). - *Note*: There is no internal evidence to establish anything but corporate authorship (i.e. Liverpool Naturalists' Field Club) for this flora. Nonetheless, p. \[iii\] states "Communications may be addressed to H.S. Fisher, 'Flora Committee,' Royal Institution" implying he had some editorial responsibility. In addition, Desmond (ed. 2, p. 247-248, 725-726) states that Fisher edited the 1872 flora with F\[rederic\]. M\[organ\]. Webb (1841-1880) but the original source of Desmond's statement is unclear. - *Appendix to the Flora of Liverpool*: by Robert Brown (1839-1901); "... an accurate local botanist...")...

Bot. attributes it to Robert Brown (1839-1901); Desmond (ed. 2, p. 108) does the same for this and the 3rd Appendix. - *Ref*.: Anon., J. Bot. 13: 178.

(2) Clearly building upon, but not to be confused with, an earlier (1851) work of the same title by Joseph Dickinson (ca. 1805-1865) (see TL-2/1, nr. 1441 and Suppl. 5: 287-288) nor *A Flora of Liverpool*...
