This note discusses the entire solution space for the Falkner‐Skan equation when the pressure gradient parameter takes the value β = ‐1. In this sense, the work is a direct extension of the results of Yang and Chien [11]. Various solution branches resulting from the non‐uniqueness of the boundary value problem are examined in detail. Wake type solutions of the equation are not discussed.
