French physician and botanist (1776–1858) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jean-Baptiste Mougeot (25 September 1776, in Bruyères – 5 December 1858) was a French physician and botanist.
From 1798 to 1802, he was stationed in Germany as an army health officer, afterwards returning to his hometown of Bruyères, where he settled as a physician. From 1833 until his death in 1858, he was a member of the conseil général for the département of Vosges.[1] Together with Wilhelm Philippe Schimper, Antoine Mougeot and Chrétien Géofroy Nestler he edited some exsiccatae.[2]
The algae genera Mougeotia and Mougeotiopsis (family Zygnemataceae) are named in his honor.[1] Also, taxa with the specific epithet of mougeotii are named after him,[3] an example being Sorbus mougeotii (Mougeot's whitebeam).
