Alphonse Trémeau de Rochebrune

Alphonse Amédée Trémeau de Rochebrune was a French botanist, malacologist and a zoologist.

He addressed, in one hundred fifty publications, to a variety of subjects: from geology to paleontology, botany to malacology.

These include his 1860 catalogue of wild flowering plants in the Department of Charente, co-written with Savatier Alexander.

[2] From 1882 to 1883, Rochebrune took part in a scientific expedition to the Southern Ocean and Cape Horn, with the malacologist Jules François Mabille, during which they collected, and later described many new species of molluscs.

[3] Rochebrune was also the discoverer of a lamp from the Paleolithic era, in the caves of La Chaire a Calvin in Charente.
