About Gerald Straley

Gerald Straley Biography

Research Papers

Tributes and Memories

Wilf Nicholls: "...he was botanist, gardener, taxonomist, naturalist, hiker, photographer, author, teacher. Above all, he was a gentle man, warm, humorous, welcoming and generous but also quietly tenacious and strove for excellence in all he did..."

Roy Lancaster: "...the plants in the UBC Botanical Garden will be whispering his name forever..."

David Tarrant: "I met Gerald in 1976 and as the years progressed had the opportunity to co-lead botanical tours with him and observe his teaching and communication skills when explaining the intricacies of taxonomy and botany. He had the amazing ability to be able to relate to both the academic student and layman alike, engaging them in the science and wonder of the plant world. He just couldn't help himself anywhere he saw a plant he felt it had to be introduced no matter how lowly its appearance."
