Autoren-Porträt von Jacques Labillardiere
Jacques-Julien Houtou de Labillardière was a renowned French biologist and explorer, born on October 28, 1755, in Alençon, France, and passed away on January 8, 1834. A pivotal figure in the natural sciences, his contributions span botany and the documentation of flora across different continents. His seminal work 'Relation du Voyage à la Recherche de La Pérouse' (1799-1800), translated as 'Voyage In Search Of La Perouse Volume I', stands as a testament to his adventurous spirit and dedication to scientific inquiry. Labillardière's expedition was conducted amidst the backdrop of the French Revolution, with the aim to locate the lost expedition of fellow explorer Jean-François de Galaup, comte de La Pérouse. This voyage took him to Australia and the Pacific, where Labillardière's meticulous collection and description of plants were unprecedented. His extensive herbarium, esteemed for its breadth and the accuracy of observation, laid the foundations for southern hemisphere botany. His literary style marries scholarly acumen with a vivid portrayal of the encounters and landscapes he traversed. Labillardière is not only remembered as a pioneering botanist for naming many Australian species, but also as an explorer whose narrative captured the imagination of the scientific community and the general public alike.
