Jean-François Séguier
Jean-François Séguier (; 25 November 1703 – 1 September 1784) was a French archaeologist, epigraphist, astronomer and botanist from Nîmes.He studied law in Montpellier, during which time, he developed a passion for botany. He was a friend and collaborator to Scipio Maffei, with whom he took an extended scientific tour throughout Europe (1732–36). In 1755 he became a member of the Académie de Nîmes, serving as its ''secrétaire perpétuel'' from 1765 to 1784. In 1772 he became a member of the Académie royale des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres.
The plant genus ''Seguieria'' (family Petiveriaceae, Loefl., 1758) commemorates his name, as do the botanical species ''Ranunculus seguieri'' (Vill., 1779), ''Euphorbia seguieriana'' (Neck., 1770), and ''Dianthus seguieri'' (Vill., 1779). Provided by Wikipedia
