There is some confusion as to whether there should be an 'H' in the initials of this William Archer (1820-1874), although it appears on herbarium specimen labels. It might result from confusion with two other naturalists at the time, William Henry Archer (1825-1909) and William Henry Davies Archer (1836-1928). see: Hansen, Anita (2008) 'The Significance of 'H' in William H Archer in Australian Herbarium Collections', Kanunnah 3: 94-97.
