Eugène Bourgeau (1813–1877) was a French naturalist. He was native of Brizon in the département of Haute-Savoie in France. Biographical informationAs a young man, he worked at the botanical garden in Lyon, where his influences included Nicolas Charles Seringe and Claude Thomas Alexis Jordan.[1] In 1843 he relocated to Paris, where he was hired by Philip Barker Webb as a herbarium assistant. In 1845-46 he collected plants for the "Webb collection" in the Canary Islands.[2] He had previously been a botanical collector in Spain, North Africa and the Canary Islands before joining the British North American Exploring Expedition of western Canada from 1857 to 1860.[3] In Canada, he collected botanical specimens north of Lake Superior and areas around Lake Winnipeg, also journeying down the Saskatchewan River and venturing into the Rocky Mountains.[2] Later expeditions included two trips to Asia Minor (the Lycia region and the Pontic Mountains), a journey to Spain and the Balearic Islands (1863), a scientific mission to Mexico (1865–66), and in 1870, a trip to the island of Rhodes.[1][2] The plant genus Bourgaea was named in his honor by Ernest Cosson.[2][4] His name is also commemorated with Mount Bourgeau, a peak located in Banff National Park.[5] Bourgeau did not publish any botanical literature.[2] He reportedly was a terrible speller and grammarian.[1] References1. ^1 2 [https://books.google.com/books?id=BdFuHC3DhwAC&pg=PA94 Biographical Dictionary of American and Canadian Naturalists] edited by Keir Brooks Sterling 2. ^1 2 3 4 JSTOR Global Plants (biography of Bourgeau) 3. ^James Hector's Journal {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050903210540/http://www.ourheritage.net/hector_pages/Bourgeau.html |date=2005-09-03 }} 4. ^Index Nominum Genericorum database Bourgaea - Smithsonian Institution 5. ^{{cite book|title=Place-names of Alberta|url=https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015070267029;view=1up;seq=27|year=1928|publisher=Geographic Board of Canada|location=Ottawa|page=23}} External links
