Jacques Désiré Leandri

Jacques Désiré Leandri, born 1903 in Corsica, died 1982, was a French botanist and mycologist.

Leandri is remembered for botanical excursions in North Africa (Morocco) and Madagascar. He collected plants for scientific study from the years 1922 to 1980.[1] The plant genus Leandriella from the family Acanthaceae is named after him.[2] As a taxonomist, he circumscribed many plants within the family Euphorbiaceae.[3]

gollark: Not yet, not yet...]
gollark: It seemed like such an innocent idea - embedding small radioisotope generators in SSDs so if the power fails they can continue writing from their buffers, or run routine maintenance tasks. But little did they know that some SSDs would explode when they hit end-of-life...
