Adrien-Henri de Jussieu (23 December 1797 – 29 June 1853) was a French botanist.[1]
Born in Paris as the son of botanist Antoine Laurent de Jussieu, he received the degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1824 with a treatise of the plant family Euphorbiaceae.[2] When his father retired in 1826, he succeeded him at the Jardin des Plantes; in 1845 he became professor of organography of plants. He was also president of the French Academy of Sciences. De Jussieu was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1850.[3]
His main publications were the Cours élémentaire de botanique (Paris) and the Géographie botanique (Paris, 1846), as well as several monographs, most notably the one on the family Malpighiaceae.[4] In botanical references, he is usually abbreviated as Adr. Juss., also sometimes as A. Juss., as his father already has the abbreviation Juss.[citation needed]
The asteroid 9470 Jussieu was named in honor of the de Jussieu family.[citation needed]
In 1825, the French botanist Charles Gaudichaud-Beaupré published Adriana, a genus of Australian shrubs in the family Euphorbiaceae named in honour of Jussieu.[citation needed]
