Alphonse Louis Pierre Pyrame de Candolle
1806‐93
Swiss botanist, son of Augustin. Born in Paris and died in Geneva. Former professor at the University of Geneva. He conducted research in comparative morphology, plant taxonomy, and plant geography, and in particular demonstrated the close relationship between plant distribution and nutrition and temperature, laying the foundations of ecological geography. Building on these findings and adding knowledge of archaeology and linguistics as well as botany, he published A Rational Geography of Plants in 1855. He expanded one chapter of that book (the chapter on the phylogeny of cultivated plants) and published his famous The Origin of Cultivated Plants in 1883.

Augustin Pyrame de Candolle

1778‐1841
Swiss botanist. Born in Geneva, he studied plants from an early age, and in 1805 published the third edition of Lamarck's Flora Francais with a critical edition. In 1808 he became professor of botany at the University of Montpellier in France, where he published the most advanced botanical text at the time, Elements of Botany (1813), and subsequently wrote The Organology of Plants (1827) and Physiology of Plants (1832), which provided guidelines for plant morphology and physiology. In 1816 he returned to Geneva, where he established a botanical garden and a natural history museum, and was involved in the founding of a public library and art museum.
