For Philippe Isidore Picot, former Lord of Lapeyrouse (Lapeirouse), Baron de Bazus (1744–1818), French botanist, geologist, and mineralogist. He was professor of natural history at Toulouse University, first Dean of the Faculty of Science, Mayor of Toulouse (1800–1807) under Napoleon, Secretary of the Academy of Sciences of Toulouse (from 1811), and creator of the Natural History Museum. He explored the entire Pyrenees twice, the second time with Déodat de Dolomieu (1750–1801). He was the author of papers on public education, geology, the mines and agriculture, and of the work Histoire abrégée des plantes des Pyrénées et itinéraire des botanistes dans ces montagnes (Brief history of the plants from the Pyrenees and botanists’ routes in the mountains) (1818).
