### Author
Hiern, William Philip (1839-1925), British botanist of independent means who worked at Kew and BM; M.A. Oxford 1868.
**Abbreviated name**: *Hiern* \[standard form in IPNI: *Hiern*\]
#### Herbarium and types
Hiern's British herbarium is at [[Collection RAMM|RAMM]]; his non-British collections are at [[Collection CGE|CGE]]. The types of the *Catalogue* (see below) are at [[Collection BM|BM]]. This set of Welwitsch specimens was the second one; the first, ("study set") was returned to Lisbon ([[Collection LISU|LISU]]) upon a law-suit after Welwitsch's death in 1873.
