Joseph Duval-Jouve

Joseph Duval-Jouve (August 7, 1810 – August 25, 1883) was a French botanist born in Boissy-Lamberville. He was the father of histologist Mathias-Marie Duval (1844-1907).

This article is about the botanist. For the archbishop, see Joseph Duval.

He taught classes at the college in Grasse (1832–52),[1] afterwards serving as an academic inspector in Algiers, Strasbourg and Montpellier. A portion of his herbarium was donated to the faculty of sciences at Montpellier.

He specialized in research of the family Poaceae and the genus Equisetum. The plant genus Jouvea is named in his honor. He is the taxonomic authority for the grass genus Loretia.[2]
