Species Dalechampia senegalensis

For Jacques Daléchamps (1513–1588), French botanist, physician and professor of surgery, philologist, humanist and naturalist who lived in Lyon. His most important work was Historia plantarum generalis (1586–1587), a compilation of botanical knowledge of his time. He also made many translations of important works into French and Latin. His name is given variously as Daléchamps, Dalechamp, Dalechampius, or D’Aléchamps. The spelling of names was not as fixed at that time as it is now.
