Early life

Bayer was born in Empangeni, South Africa. In 1973, he became the fourth curator of the Karoo Desert National Botanical Garden in Worcester, South Africa.[1]

Career

Bruce Bayer became an authority on Haworthia,[2] writing many articles, starting in the early 1960s, and several books. These include: Haworthia Handbook (1976), The New Haworthia Handbook (1982), Haworthia Revisited. A revision of the Genus (1999) and, beginning in 2002, eleven volumes of Haworthia updates.[3][4] Bayer's field studies revealed the complexity of the genus, and problems of species delineation and the application of taxonomic code to a very fluid family.[5][6]
