Biography
British chemist, botanist and plant geographer, formerly head of the Australian section at the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew where his original collections were deposited. Cryptogamic material and some British specimens were probably transferred to BM under the terms of the Morton Agreement after 1960. Not to be confused with Robert Melville (1723-1809) who collected in St. Vincent.
