Joseph Marie Henry Alfred Perrier de la Bâthie

Joseph Marie Henry Alfred Perrier de la Bâthie (11 August 1873 – 2 October 1958) was a French botanist who specialized in the plants of Madagascar.

He is the nephew of Eugène Pierre Perrier de la Bâthie, (1825-1916), another botanist,[1] who also collected plants with him.

The orchid genus Neobathiea (originally Bathiea) was named in his honor, as was the indriid lemur Perrier's sifaka (Propithecus perrieri).

[3] Such as in 1905, botanist Lucien Désiré Joseph Courchet published Perriera, a genus of flowering plants from Madagascar, belonging to the family Simaroubaceae.

[6] In 1951, Alberto Judice Leote Cavaco published Perrierodendron is a genus of trees and shrubs in the family Sarcolaenaceae.
