Jacques Ernest Joseph Lambinon

Eponymy

The diversity of taxa named in honour of Lambinon reflects both his wide-ranging interests and his role as collector of important type material. Martin and Sérusiaux list seventeen taxa that bear his name: five phanerogams, one pteridophyte, two bryophytes, eight fungi (including three lichenised species) and one cyanobacterium. Many of these were described from specimens that he had collected during his fieldwork and deposited at Liège, with isotypes (duplicates) placed in other herbaria.
