Clément Rodier

[1][2] Originally a member of the Brothers of the Annunciation at Misserghin in Algeria, he helped to run an orphanage.

This graft resulted in the clementine, which was named in honor of its creator.

[1] Brother Marie-Clément's new variety was "a species of mandarin, which won the admiration of connoisseurs and which the orphans christened the Clementine.

Its fruit was redder than a mandarin and had a delicious taste and, moreover, it had no pith".

In 2010, a building on the campus of Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania was named Clement Hall in honor of Brother Marie-Clément.
