Jules Alexandre Daveau (1852-1929)
Jules Alexandre Daveau (29 February 1852, Argenteuil – 24 August 1929) was a French botanist known for his investigations of Portuguese flora.
As a teenager he began work as an apprentice gardener at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle in Paris. In 1875, he was sent on a botanical expedition to Cyrenaica. He collected specimens for a Portugues botanist Julio Augusto Henriques[1] on Berlenga Grande Island, Portugal.[2]
From 1876 to 1893 he served as head gardener of the botanical gardens in Lisbon. Afterwards, he was curator in the herbarium and botanical garden in Montpellier.[3][4][5]
Plants with the specific epithet of daveauanus are named after Daveau, an example being: Erigeron daveauanus.[6][7]
