Casimir Arvet-Touvet
Jean-Maurice Casimir Arvet-Touvet (1841–1913) was a French botanist born in Gières. His early botanical investigations involved species native to Dauphiné, publishing in 1871 ''Essai sur les plantes du Dauphiné''. Subsequently, he devoted his energies to research of the genus ''Hieracium'' (hawkweed). With his friend, Marie Clément Gaston Gautier (1841–1911), he conducted studies of ''Hieracium'' found in the Pyrenees and the Iberian Peninsula. With Gautier he issued a 20 booklet exsiccata series of the genus. During the last few years of his life he was involved with publication of the exsiccata series ''Hieraciorum praesertim Galliae et Hispaniae catalogus systematicus''.

Orchid
Orchids are plants that belong to the family Orchidaceae (), a diverse and widespread group of flowering plants with blooms that are often colourful and fragrant. Along with the Asteraceae, they are one of the two largest families of flowering plants. The Orchidaceae have about 28,000 currently accepted species, distributed in about 763 genera. (See ''External links'' below). The determination of which family is larger is still under debate, because verified data on the members of such enormous families are continually in flux. Regardless, the number of orchid species is nearly equal to the number of bony fishes, more than twice the number of bird species, and about four times the number of mammal species. The family encompasses about 6–11% of all species of seed plants. The largest genera are ''Bulbophyllum'' (2,000 species), ''Epidendrum'' (1,500 species), ''Dendrobium'' (1,400 species) and ''Pleurothallis'' (1,000 species). It also includes ''Vanilla'' (the genus of the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
