Antoine-Tristan Danty d'Isnard

His father was called on by King Charles II of England( 1630- 1685) to fight a plague epidemic in 1661.
The Danty d' Isnard family returned to France in 1668.
Antoine- Tristan obtained his doctorat in 1703 in Paris.

Adrien-Henri de Jussieu
Adrien-Henri de Jussieu (23 December 1797 – 29 June 1853) was a French botanist.
Born in Paris as the son of botanist Antoine Laurent de Jussieu, he received the degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1824 with a treatise of the plant family Euphorbiaceae.
When his father retired in 1826, he succeeded him at the Jardin des Plantes; in 1845 he became professor of organography of plants.
He was also president of the French Academy of Sciences.
De Jussieu was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1850.
His main publications were the "Cours élémentaire de botanique" (Paris) and the "Géographie botanique" (Paris, 1846), as well as several monographs, most notably the one on the family Malpighiaceae.
In botanical references he is usually abbreviated as Adr.
Juss., also sometimes as A. Juss., as his father already has the abbreviation Juss.
The asteroid 9470 Jussieu was named in honor of the de Jussieu family.
Bernard de Jussieu
Bernard de Jussieu( 17 August 1699 – 6 November 1777) was a French naturalist, younger brother of Antoine de Jussieu.
Bernard de Jussieu was born in Lyon.
He took a medical degree at Montpellier and began practice in 1720, but finding the work uncongenial he gladly accepted his brother's invitation to Paris in 1722, when he succeeded Sebastien Vaillant( 1669 – 1722) as sub-demonstrator of plants in the Jardin des Plantes.
In 1725 he brought out a new edition of Joseph Pitton de Tournefort's" Histoire des plantes qui naissent aux environs de Paris", 2 vols., which was afterwards translated into English by John Martyn, the original work being incomplete.
In the same year he was admitted into the French Academy of Sciences, and communicated several papers to that body.
Long before Abraham Trembley( 1700 – 1784) published his" Histoire des polypes d' eau douce", Jussieu maintained the doctrine that these organisms were in fact animals, and not the flowers of marine plants, which was the notion at the time; to confirm his views, he made three journeys to the coast of Normandy.
Singularly modest and retiring, he published very little, but in 1759 he arranged the plants in the royal garden of the Grand Trianon in the Palace of Versailles, according to his own scheme of classification.
This arrangement is printed in his nephew Antoine Laurent de Jussieu's" Genera plantarum", and formed the basis of that work.
He cared little for the credit of enunciating new discoveries, so long as the facts were made public.
On the death of his brother Antoine, he could not be induced to succeed him as professor of botany at the Jardin des Plantes, but prevailed upon L. G. Lemonnier to assume the higher position.
He was elected a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1749.
The standard botanical author abbreviation B.Juss. is applied to plants described by de Jussieu.

For a number of years afterwards he served in various functions at the Sorbonne and at the natural history museum.
From 1874 he taught classes at the École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures, and in 1876 was named a professor of botany and plant physiology at the agronomic institute.
In 1887 he became director of the Station de Pathologie végétale in Paris.
