He was a member of the Société Botanique de France. He was particularly interested in moss, which he studied in his spare time. He described over 1000 new species and genera. These came from many parts of the world, obtained by exchanging specimens with others. He continued to study mosses, including using a microscope, into his early 80s. Thériot's personal herbarium collection is currently housed at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle. Jules Cardot named the genus Theriotia in honor of Thériot.
Title: Gustave Thuret
Content:  well as earlier memoirs, are illustrated by accurate drawings by the artist Alfred Riocreux, whom Thuret employed. In 1857 Thuret moved his research to Antibes (on the Mediterranean coast), where, on a once barren promontory, he established a botanical garden which became famous throughout the scientific world. Since his death the garden (now known as the Jardin botanique de la Villa Thuret) has been placed at the disposal of botanical workers as an institute for research. Thuret died suddenly, while on a visit to Nice. He was a man of considerable wealth, which, together with his time and interest, he devoted to science.

Content:  The garden was created in 1857 by Gustave Thuret (1817-1875), a botanist best known for studies of reproduction in algae, who used it to conduct plant acclimatization trials with friend and lichen expert Jean-Baptiste Édouard Bornet (1828-1911). In 1868, novelist George Sand described it in her Traveller's Letters as the loveliest garden she had ever seen. It was bequeathed to the nation in 1878, and in 1927 attached to the Institute of Agronomic Research, which in 1946 became the Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA). Today the garden contains approximately 2,500 trees and shrubs in its collections, representing some 1,600 exotic species (144 genera, 131 families) from

Title: Elisabeth Julienne Pommereul
Content:  Élisabeth was introduced to botany in the Rennes region. In the 1770s, she lived in Nantes, where she became acquainted with the family of François Bonamy, director of the Jardin royal des Plantes. A few years later, between 1775 and 1777, Pommereul lived in Paris and assiduously followed the botany courses of Antoine-Laurent de Jussieu. In 1778, André Thouin, head gardener at the Jardin du Roi, called on her help to count and identify the grasses growing in the beds of the Jardin de l'Ecole de botany. It was at this time that she tried to develop a classification reconciling Tournefort's system with that of Linnaeus. During the same period, she was approached by Thouin and Jussieu to compose a work on grasses. Thouin put her in touch with her network of correspondents: Carl von Linné the Younger, Antoine Gouan, Pierre-André Pourret, and Claude-Étienne Savary. According to her relative Desgenettes, she lived alone in an attic in the King's Garden and devoted herself to her research projects. Witnesses to her botanical activity, three botanical specimens that she collected during her herbalism are still preserved in the collections of the National Herbarium of the National Museum of Natural History.
Title: Catherine Jérémie
Content:  In 1702 Jérémie settled in Montreal with husband Michel LePailleur where she pursued her studies and research in botany and midwifery.

She applied these findings to her knowledge of women's bodily experiences. Jérémie was one of the earliest botanists in Canada and the first female naturalist known to date. She was known in the French scientific world for providing the French naturalist scientists with detailed reports of the plants they collected and sent their collections to the Jardin des Plantes in Paris, encouraged by the French Académie des Sciences in order to collect Canada's flora and fauna. Colony intendant Gilles Hocquart noted her practices as significant in his reports to France and these
