Jean-Baptiste Ripart

Jean Baptiste Marie Joseph Solange Eugène Ripart (15 May 1815,[1] Bessines – 17 October 1878, Bourges) was a French physician, botanist and mycologist.

During his career, he worked as a physician in Bourges.

He conducted investigations of cryptogams and performed research of the genera Rosa and Rubus.

[2][3] With Pierre Alfred Déséglise (Rosa) and Léon Gaston Genevier (Rubus), he described numerous botanical species.

[4] The mycological genera of Ripartitella Singer, 1947 and Ripartites P.Karst., 1879 as well as the former plant genus Ripartia Gdgr., 1881 (which is now a synonym of Rosa,[5]), all commemorate his name.
