Auguste François Marie Glaziou

As a student in Paris, he earned a degree in civil engineering and took classes at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle.

In 1858 at the request of Emperor Dom Pedro II, he relocated to Rio de Janeiro as director of parks and gardens.

In Brazil, Glaziou was responsible for landscape design at several sites, including the gardens at Quinta da Boa Vista, the residence of Brazilian royalty for much of the 19th century.

[1] In 1897 he returned to France and settled in Bordeaux, where he worked on his personal herbarium.

[4] He was co-author with Antoine Laurent Apollinaire Fée (1789-1874), of the two-volume Cryptogames vasculaire (Fougères, lycopodiacées, hydroptéridées, équisétacées) du Brésil (1869-1873).
