Clémence Lortet

Clémence Lortet (17 September 1772 – 15 April 1835) was a French botanist and naturalist.[1][2] In 1823 she became an associate of the Linnean Society of Paris, and with Giovanni Balbis and others, co-founded the Linnean Society of Lyon. She is grandmother of Louis Lortet (1836-1909).[3] A branch of the Bibliothèque municipale de Lyon was named for Lortet.[4] Although she did not publish any contributions in her lifetime, several of her manuscripts are published.[5]
