Jean Étienne Duby
Jean Étienne Duby (15 February 1798 in Geneva – 24 November 1885) was a Swiss clergyman and botanist. He studied theology in Geneva, obtaining his consecration in 1820, and having an avid interest in natural history, he earned his degree in natural sciences in 1824. As a young man he was influenced by Augustin Pyramus de Candolle (1778–1841), and made contributions towards Candolle's publication of ''Botanicon gallicum; seu Synopsis plantarum in Flora gallica descriptarum'' (1828-1830). From 1831 to 1863 he served as a pastor in Eaux-Vives, Geneva, while in the meantime playing an active role in botany. He specialized in research of cryptogams, including studies of European and exotic mosses, and taxonomic work involving the red algae genus '' Ceramium''. In addition to his work with cryptogams, he conducted studies on the flowering plant Flowering plants are plants that bear flowers and fruits, and form the clade Angiospermae (). The term angiosperm is derived fro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Irénée Thériot
Marie Hypolite Irénée Thériot (21 December 1859 – 25 March 1947), credited as Irénée Thériot was a French bryologist and school teacher. He was orphaned as a child, trained as a teacher and became head of a school in Le Havre from 1888 until 1920. He married but his wife (died 1938) and son (died 1917, aged 30) pre-deceased him. He was a member of the Société Botanique de France. He was particularly interested in moss, mosses, which he studied in his spare time. He described over 1000 new species and genera. These came from many parts of the world, obtained by exchanging specimens with others. He continued to study mosses and liverworts, including using a microscope, into his early 80s. Thériot edited the exsiccata ''Musci et Hepaticae Novae-Caledoniae exsiccati''. Thériot's personal herbarium collection is currently housed at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle. Jules Cardot named the genus ''Theriotia'' in honor of Thériot. Publications He was the aut ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dicranaceae
Dicranaceae is a family of haplolepideous mosses ( Dicranidae) in class Bryopsida. Species within this family are dioicous. Genera in this family include '' Dicranum'', '' Dicranoloma'', and '' Mitrobryum''.

The Plant List
The Plant List was a list of botanical names of species of plants created by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and the Missouri Botanical Garden and launched in 2010. It was intended to be a comprehensive record of all known names of plant species over time, and was produced in response to Target 1 of the 2002–2010 Global Strategy for Plant Conservation (GSP C), to produce "An online flora of all known plants". It has not been updated since 2013, and has been superseded by World Flora Online. World Flora Online In October 2012, the follow-up project World Flora Online was launched with the aim to publish an online flora of all known plants by 2020. This is a project of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity, with the aim of halting the loss of plant species worldwide by 2020. It is developed by a collaborative group of institutions around the world response to the 2011-2020 GSPC's updated Target 1. This aims to achieve an online Flora of all known plants by 2020 ...

Tropicos
Tropicos is an online botanical database containing taxonomic information on plants, mainly from the Neotropical realm ( Central, and South America South America is a continent entirely in the Western Hemisphere and mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, with a considerably smaller portion in the Northern Hemisphere. It can also be described as the southern Subregion#Americas, subregion o ...). It is maintained by the Missouri Botanical Garden and was established in 1982. The database contains images and taxonomical and bibliographical data on more than 4.2 million herbarium specimens. In addition, it contains data on over 49,000 scientific publications. The database can be queried in English, French, and Spanish. The oldest records in the database go back to 1703. Establishment Tropicos was developed by Garden botanist Dr. Robert Magill in the early 1980s, initially on a tiny Osborne 01 microcomputer. He is currently working as Tropicos’ research staff.

Plants Described In 1935
Plants are the eukaryotes that form the kingdom Plantae; they are predominantly photosynthetic. This means that they obtain their energy from sunlight, using chloroplasts derived from endosymbiosis with cyanobacteria to produce sugars from carbon dioxide and water, using the green pigment chlorophyll. Exceptions are parasitic plants that have lost the genes for chlorophyll and photosynthesis, and obtain their energy from other plants or fungi. Most plants are multicellular, except for some green algae. Historically, as in Aristotle's biology, the plant kingdom encompassed all living things that were not animals, and included algae and fungi. Definitions have narrowed since then; current definitions exclude fungi and some of the algae. By the definition used in this article, plants form the clade Viridiplantae (green plants), which consists of the green algae and the embryophytes or land plants ( hornworts, liverworts, mosses, lycophytes, ferns, conifers and other gymno ...
