Georges François Reuter

Georges François Reuter (30 November 1805 – 23 May 1872) was a French botanist and plant collector.

He also collaborated with Boissier on numerous projects that included various plant collection trips.

[4] In 1838 the botanical genus Reutera was named in his honor by Boissier.
