Br.* \[standard form in IPNI: *R.Br.*\] #### Herbarium and types Robert Brown's herbarium, consisting mainly of his own collections from Australia, Tasmania, Timor, the Cape and some other Australian collections, came into the possession of J. J. Bennett in 1858 and was split up upon the latter's death in 1876. The main set went to [[Collection BM|BM]] (3900 species) the second set to [[Collection K|K]], the third to E. Smaller sets of duplicates are in many herbaria, for instance in the Thunberg herbarium ([[Collection UPS|UPS]]) and at [[Collection G|G]] and [[Collection P|P]]. The types of the names in R. Brown's non-Australian publications are mainly at [[Collection BM|BM]]. Types of algae mainly at [[Collection BM|BM]], some at [[Collection K|K]]. The collection of fossil wood is also at [[Collection BM|BM]]. *Ref*.: BB p. 48-49; IH 2: 101. 1954. - Anon., J. Bot. 14: 192. 1876. - Candolle, Phytographie 400. 1880. - Anon., Hist. Coll.

J. Bennett for the Ray Society, 2 vols. 1866, 1867, atlas 1868 (These *Miscellaneous Works* indicate original pagination!) – The plates are uncoloured lithographs. *Volume 1* appears to have had at least two issues, differing only in the title-pages. The issue with the Leipzig (Friedrich Fleischer) imprint has "Mit einer Kupfertafel", the issue with the Schmalkalden imprint has "Mit einer Steindrucktafel" (in both cases the plate is a lithograph!). The Schmalkalden issue has on the back of the title-page a motto (absent from the Leipzig issue)": >"Die reine Empirie sucht unbewusst das Centrum, treue Anschauung überall wird von der Einheit angezogen, als ihrem Schwerpunkt. Göthe". *Volume 2* appears apparently only with the Leipzig imprint. From the Utrecht copy it is clear that the Leipzig title-pages of volumes 1 and 2 were issued on a single separate sheet which was to be cut. The copies seen by us of vol. 1 with the Leipzig imprint (M, U) have the title-page as a cancellans. – This volume contains a reprint of the text of Aiton, Hort. Kew. ed. 2. 5: 188-222 on p. 3-52, thus identifying this text as from the hand of Brown. *Volume 3* is known to us only with a Nürnberg (Leonhard Schrag) imprint. Only part 1 was issued and contains the Nürnberg reprint of Robert Brown's *Prodromus* with the double pagination (p. \[1\]-446 are equivalent to the original 145-590, p. \[447\]-460 have addenda and an index). The only difference of this issue with the separate issue of the *Prodromus* is the addition of a \[second\] title-page \[p. ii\] identifying the book as vol. 3(1) of the Vermischte botanische Schriften. *Volumes 4 and 5* are known to us only with the Nürnberg imprint. A reference to difficulties with the publishers of vols. 1 and 2 (Varnhagen und Fleischer) is found in Nees' preface to vol. 4 p. vi. Volume 5 contains on p. 313-416 a systematic review of nomenclatural notes and addenda with respect to Brown's taxa compiled by Endlicher. *Ref*.: BM 1: 260; MO p. 69; MW p. 56; PR 1214. - C. G. D.
