Achille Eugène Finet

Achille Eugène Finet (1863, Argenteuil – 1913, París) was a French botanist best known for his study of orchids native to Japan and China.

With François Gagnepain, he circumscribed a number of plant species from the family Annonaceae.

[2] In 1925 Hu Xiansu named the orchid genus Neofinetia in his honor.
