Neville Walsh is the Senior Conservation Botanist at the Royal Botanic Gardens Melbourne. His work involves survey and development of recovery strategies for threatened Victorian plants as well as taxonomic research in a number of plant groups, principally the genus Pomaderris in the family Rhamnaceae, Australian Ranunculaceae, Poaceae and Lobeliaceae (Campanulaceae subfamily Lobeloideae), and the daisy genera Centipeda, Eriochlamys and Olearia. Neville has a background in botanical surveys, and mapping plant species and communities throughout Victoria. He is co-editor of the 4-volume Flora of Victoria and has submitted accounts of various plant groups for publication in the Flora of Australia. He is a member of the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Scientific Advisory Group and is a member of recovery teams for threatened plants and animals in Victoria.
