The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition | Date: 2008

André Michaux , 1746-1802, French botanist. He collected botanical specimens in Europe and Asia. In 1785 he was sent by the French government to establish nurseries in the United States to cultivate plants for naturalization in France. Until 1796 he made botanical journeys through the United States and recorded his studies in a book on the oaks of North America (1801) and in a work on North American botany, Flora Boreali-Americana (1803). His son, François André Michaux, 1770-1855, is known chiefly for his work on the forest trees of North America (1810-13, tr. The North American Sylva, 1817).
