Hippolyte Hanry

Hippolyte Hanry (15 April 1807, Casale Monferrato, Italy 1893) was a French botanical collector and taxonomist.

From 1831 onward, he served as justice of the peace in Le Luc, a town in the department of Var. As a botanist, he collected plants in the vicinity of Le Luc.[1]

He was the author of the botanical section of the 1853 "Prodrome d'histoire naturelle du département du Var" (Prodomus on the natural history of Var).[1] His herbarium specimens are presently housed at the Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle in Nîmes and in the herbarium at the University of Montpellier.[2]

Plants with the specific epithet of hanryi are named in his honor.[3]
