For François Bonamy (1710–1786), French physician and botanist, from a long line of apothecaries.

He was also a member of the Royal Society of Medicine. He established a garden of apothecaries (medicinal plants) at Nantes and taught botany for free or next to nothing to those who visited the garden.
