MICHAUA, ANDRE (1746-1802)

This article appears in Volume V18, Page 362 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MIC-MOL
MICHAUA, ANDRE (1746-1802) , French botanist and traveller, was born at
Versailles
  on the 7th of
March
  1746. In 1779 he spent some time botanizing in England, and in 178o he explored Auvergne, the Pyrenees and the north of Spain. In 1782 he was sent by the French government on a botanical mission to Persia. His journey began unfavourably, as he was robbed by Arabs of all his equipment except his books; but he gained influential support in Persia, having cured the shah of a dangerous illness. After two years he returned to France with a fine
herbarium
 , and also introduced numerous Eastern plants into the botanic gardens of France. In 1785 he was sent by the French government to North America, and travelled with his son Francois Andre (17701855) through Canada,
Nova Scotia and the United States. On his return to France in 1797 he was shipwrecked and lost most of his collections. In x800 he went to Madagascar to investigate the flora of that
island
 , and died there on the 16th of November 1802. His
work
  as a botanist was chiefly done in the field, and he added largely to what was previously known of the botany of the
East
  and of America.
He wrote two valuable works on North American plantsthe Histoire des chenes de l'Amerique septentrionale (18o1), with 36 plates, and the Flora Boreali-Americana (2 vols., 1803), with 51 plates. His son Francois published a Histoire des arbres forestiers de l'Amerique septentrionale (3 vols., 1810-1813), with 156 plates, of which an
English
 
translation
  appeared in 1817-1819 as The North American Sylva.
