Adrien-Henri de Jussieu

Adrien-Henri de Jussieu (23 December 1797 – 29 June 1853) was a French botanist.

[1] Born in Paris as the son of botanist Antoine Laurent de Jussieu, he received the degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1824 with a treatise of the plant family Euphorbiaceae.

De Jussieu was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1850.

[3] His main publications were the Cours élémentaire de botanique (Paris) and the Géographie botanique (Paris, 1846), as well as several monographs, most notably the one on the family Malpighiaceae.
