- Yes, this is him. A death notice in The Courier and Argus (Dundee, Tayside, Scotland) · 1 Feb 1867, Fri · Page 4, confirms this was "Mr. John E. Nelson, author of 'Pinaceae'." sources differ on whether he died on 20 or 26 January. — The preceding unsigned comment was added by 2603:8000:b640:547f:28f0:b4fb:de18:fc1f (talk) 14:41, 6 October 2022
