This is a corrected entry. Often listed under Elliot, but since the author wrote his name "G.F. Scott-Elliot" on the title-page of his *Fl. Dumfriesshire* we treat him here under Scott-Elliot. #### Bibliography and biography Barnhart 1: 504; BL 1: 53, 294, 2: 292, 299, 650; BM 2: 522, 6: 299; CSP 14: 820-821; Desmond p. 548 (b. 6 Jan 1862, d. 20 Jun 1934); GR p. 397; Hortus 1204; IH 2: 181; LS 7834-7836; Nordstedt suppl. p. 6; Tucker 1: 227; Urban-Berl. p. 395-396. #### Biofile - Anon., Brit.
