Species Jumellea walleri

For Henri Lucien Jumelle (1866–1935), French botanist, professor at the Marseilles Faculty of Sciences and Director of the Musée Colonial of Marseilles. With Joseph Marie Henry Alfred Perrier de la Bâthie (1873–1958), he wrote Palms of Madagascar (1913), though there is no evidence he ever went there, and published, posthumously, Flore de Madagascar et des Comores (1945). A prolific author and researcher, he wrote The History of Rubber Plants (1898), Physiological Research on the Development of Plants (1889), Cocoa: Its Culture and Operations in All Producing Countries (1900), Industrial and Medicinal plants (1901), The Agricultural and Forest Resources of the French Colonies (1907) and Colonial Cultures (1916), just to mention a few in his early career.
