This may be of interest because this man named many of our native fruit
species.

André Michaux: Explorer, Collector, Botanist
http://www.michaux.org/

André Michaux (1746-1802) was an important French botanist who
traveled and described many new plants in the post-revolutionary war
U.S. and Canada. He was author of "Histoire des chênes de l'Amérique"
("The Oaks of North America," 1801) and "Flora Boreali-Americana" (the
earliest "Flora of North America," 1803). He named scores of plants
and introduced mimosa and crepe myrtle to the continent. This site
contains a brief biography, information about a symposium in his honor
and images of some of the plants he discovered. This site is
maintained through the Daniel Stowe Botanical Garden. (***1/2) -SR
