Donald McGillivray

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Donald John McGillivray (born in 1935 in New South Wales, Australia, and usually known as D.J. McGillivray) is an Australian botanical taxonomist. He was trained in forestry, and became interested in plant taxonomy just before he transferred in 1964 to the National Herbarium of the Royal Botanic Gardens in Sydney, New South Wales.

From 1969 to 1970, he was the Australian Botanical Liaison Officer at the Royal Botanic Gardens in Kew, London.[1]

McGillivray specialises in Grevillea, and in 1993 published Grevillea - Proteaceae: A Taxonomic Revision, a definitive scientific survey of the prolific Australian plant genus.[2]
