Eugène Pierre Nicolas FOURNIER (Paris 1834-1884), botanist, - Lot 22
Eugène Pierre Nicolas FOURNIER (Paris 1834-1884), botanist, fern specialist, secretary of the Société Botanique de France, published monographs on the flora of Mexico, Brazil and New Caledonia. 7 autograph letters signed to botanist and mycologist Casimir Roumeguère (1828-1892), Toulouse, and botanist Édouard Timbal-Lagrave (1819-1888), Toulouse. 10 pp. in-8, letterheads of the Société Botanique de France. Paris and Montfort-l'Amaury, 1868-1875 and n.d. About the activities of the Société Botanique de France, articles for its Bulletin, and the determination of certain plants. "Your hybrid of Polypodium and Pteris does not remind me of anything precise or new; if it were an exotic species, I would believe it to be a Parkeriaceae [...]. Lack of time prevented me from reading your observations on Primalo variabilis to the Botanical Society at its last, very busy meeting, but I shall do so next Thursday. "M. Bourgeau must shortly offer, if he has not already done so, to buy a Mexican collection of 335 species, sent by M. Botteri. I have no doubt that you will take it. If there are ferns in this collection, I shall be obliged to you to send them to me; I shall name them to you promptly, like those you have already been kind enough to lend me [...]".
