Andrew Russell (14 January 1809 – 10 December 1867) was a politician in colonial Victoria (Australia) and a Mayor of Melbourne.

Russell was born in Glasgow, Scotland,[1] and arrived in the Port Phillip District around 1841 and established a wholesale wine and spirit business in Melbourne.[1]

On 31 August 1851,[2] Russell was appointed a nominated member (and sworn-in in November 1851) of the Victorian Legislative Council,[1] a position he held until the original Council was abolished in 1856.[1]

Russell died in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France on 10 December 1867.[1]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
