About Jean Baptiste Ripart

Lived 1814 – 1878 (aged 63–64). Jean Baptiste Ripart was a French botanist, mycologist and lichenologist.

Jean Baptiste Marie Joseph Solange Eugène Ripart (15 May 1815, Bessines – 17 October 1878, Bourges) was a French medical doctor, botanist and mycologist.

During his career, he worked as a physician in Bourges. He conducted investigations of cryptogams and performed research of the genera Rosa and Rubus. With Pierre Alfred Déséglise (Rosa) and Léon Gaston Genevier (Rubus), he described numerous botanical species.
