Ronald Melville was an English botanist known for his significant research on rosehips as a source of vitamin C during World War II, particularly due to scurvy outbreaks among children. He identified the common Dog Rose Rosa canina as the highest source of this vitamin. Later, he challenged the conventional taxonomy of British elms, acknowledging a broader diversity of species and hybrids. Furthermore, Melville created the first Red Data Book on threatened plants, and a species of tree, Acacia melvillei, was named in his honor.
