Grivell, Bruce Malcolm (1929 - 2006)

Born 8 February 1929 ; died on 12th May 2006 in Adelaide.

Bruce Grivell, was well known to South Australian botanists wishing to find examples of Australian flora in cultivation. He was long associated with the Botanic Gardens of Adelaide and in particular the Wittunga Botanic Garden, formerly the private garden of the Ashby family. Through strong ties with the family he also had an intimate knowledge of their Mt Alma garden at the family property at Inman Valley, west of Victor Harbor.

He was a great help, for example, in accessing the extensive Hakea plantings on these gardens.

Bruce also collected about 230 herbarium specimens for the State Herbarium, gathered on field trips in search of new plantings.
