Biography
Born in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, Salter joined the Royal Navy as a paymaster until 1931. He collected plants in South Africa during this period, mainly from the Cape area, and original material was deposited at BM and K. In 1935 he emigrated to South Africa and continued to make extensive collections, with original material at NBG and BOL. A number of taxa are named after him including Disa salteri G.J. Lewis, Lachenalia salteri Barker and Oxalis salteri L. Bolus.
