François Gagnepain
François Gagnepain (23 September 1866 – 25 January 1952) was a French botanist. The standard botanical author abbreviation Gagnep. is applied to plants described by Gagnepain.[1]
With Achille Eugène Finet, he named a number of species within the botanical family Annonaceae.[2] The genus Gagnepainia (family Zingiberaceae) was named in his honor by Karl Moritz Schumann.[3] The French Academy of Sciences awarded Gagnepain the Prix de Coincy for 1907.[4]
