i Dryander, Jonas Carlsson, Swedish Naturalist, pupil of Carl Linnaeus, who became associated with Sir Joseph Banks and was librarian of the Royal Society from 1782. His publications included Catalogus bibliothecae historico-naturalis Josephi Banks (1796-1800). The author abbreviation Dryand. Is used when Dryander is cited as author of a botanical name.
ii Wiildenow, Carl Ludwig (1765-1812), botanist and taxonomist, Director of the Botanical Garden of Berlin from 1801 until his death. The abbreviation Willd is used when citing a botanical name he authored.
iii Description of plant, scaly whorl.
iv It is unclear what the abbreviation H.C. means but it could be Hortus Cantabrigiensis, written by James Donn, the first curator of the Walkerian Botanic Gardens (now Cambridge University Botanic Gardens) and published in 1796.
v Bennet; Charles; 1743-1822; 4th Earl of Tankerville. There are numerous references to Pittosporum ferrugineum being introduced by the Earl of Tankerville to Australia in 1787 from Guinea. His wife, Colebrook; Emma; 1752-1836; Lady Tankerville, was interested in botany and one of their homes was Mount Felix, Walton on Thames which had a large garden and plant collection. Sir Joseph Banks named the orchid Phaius tankerville after her. It was the first tropical orchid to flower in England and it flowered in her greenhouse.
vi Good, Peter (dob unknown-1803), helped botanist Christopher Smith transport plants to Calcutta and became a gardener assistant for the botanist Robert Brown whom he accompanied on the HMS Investigator, captained by Matthew Flinders on a voyage to Australia where they collected plants and seeds. Peter Good died of dysentery in Australia and his collection was amalgamated with Brown's who named Banksia Goodii as well as the plant genus Goodia after him.
vii Possibly Hortus Britannicus https://ast.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet%27s_Hortus_Britannicus
viii Misspelling should be petraeum
ix Wortley Montagu; Mary; 1718-1763; wife of 3rd Earl of Bute. Her husband was a very keen botanist and plant collector who served as Prime Minister of Great Britain from 1762-1763.
x Allioni, Carlo (1728-1804) was a Professor of Botany at the University of Turin and Director of the Turin Botanical Garden. He published Flora Pedemontana, sive, Enumeratio methodical stirpium indigenarum Pedemontii in 1755 which documented 2813 species of plants in the Piedmont, several of which were previously not known. He has had several plants named after him.
xi Marshall, Humphry (1722-1801), American botanist and natural historian who, encouraged by the botanist John Bartram, developed friendships with botanists and plant collectors both in America and in Europe including Sir Joseph Banks.
xii There were two short lines between the two lines of writing. They did not look as though they were emphasising anything.
xiii Although there were two Russell brothers, Alexander and Patrick, who were both interested in natural history publishing a book The Natural History of Aleppo, it is most likely Patrick who is being referred to here.
Russell, Patrick (1727-1805) who during his time as botanist/naturalist with the British East India Company collected 900 herbarium specimens which together with other collections were published William Roxburgh between 1795 and 1819.
