For François Benjamin Gaillon (1782–1839), French botanist and specialist in marine plants (phycologist). He sent many papers to many learned societies of which he was a correspondent, including the Linnaean Society in Paris, Lyon, Bordeaux, Normandy and the Academy of Rouen. Among his findings was the reason why oyster parks take a green colour at certain times of the year (1821). He contributed to the Flore générale de France ou Iconographie, description et histoire de toutes les plantes (Flora of France and General Iconography, description and History of all the plants) (1828–1829) undertaken by Jean-Deslongchamps Loiseleur, with Christiaan Hendrik Persoon, Jean-Baptiste Alphonse Dechaffour de Boisduval and Louis Alphonse de Brébisson.
