Paul Bergon

Louis-Jacques-Paul Bergon (27 September 1863 in Paris – 27 January 1912) was a French photographer, musician and naturalist.

Son of a banker, he was introduced to photography by members of his family circle.

[1] In the field of orchidology, with Edmond Gustave Camus and Aimée Antoinette Camus, he was co-author of Monographie des orchidées de l'Europe : de l'Afrique septentrionale, de l'Asie Mineure et des provinces Russes transcaspiennes ("Monograph of orchids from Europe, northern Africa, Asia Minor and the Russian Trans-Caspian provinces", 1908).

His monograph on the diatom genus Entogonia was later translated into English and published with the title "Diatomaceae : Bergon's monograph on Entogonia : translation into English of descriptions of species and varieties".
