Notes
[edit]- ^ In the Scottish Football Association's website profile, Walker's record has been appended in error onto that of John Walker (footballer, born 1873) who gained 5 caps / 3 goals between 1895 and 1904.
- ^ In the source, Walker's one-year Rangers spell has been appended in error onto that of John Walker born 1873, whose career as a forward with the club ended at the same time as the younger player arrived.

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
