Biography
English physician and botanist who practised medicine in Ryde, Isle of Wight. His herbarium of British phanerogams, particularly the genus Rubus, was formerly at LINN but later purchased by BM. Additional British material was probably transferred from K after 1960 under the terms of the Morton Agreement. Rubus salteri Bab. Is named after him. Salter usually cited his name on his own specimens as 'T. Bell Salter' and this is often cited incorrectly as 'Bell-Salter' in literature.
