Joseph Victor Viviand-Morel

Joseph Victor Viviand-Morel (1843, born near Lons-le-Saunier – 28 December 1915, Lyon) was a French horticulturist and gardener.

Trained as a gardener, in 1864 he became a deputy-chief at the Parc de la Tête d'Or in Lyon. For a number of years in Lyon, he collaborated with botanist Alexis Jordan (1814–1897), with whom he cultivated many varieties of plants.[1] From 1882 to 1915 he was editor-in-chief of the journal Lyon Horticole.[2]

In 1872 he was a founding member of the Société botanique de Lyon, serving as its president on five occasions. He also served as secretary general of the Association horticole lyonnaise (1879) and was a member of the Société botanique de France.[2]
