Jules Cardot (18 August 1860 – 22 November 1934) was a
Frenchbotanist and
bryologist considered in his time one of the world's leading experts on the mosses of
Antarctica.
He was the son-in-law of botanist
Louis Piré.
His collection of
herbarium specimens at his laboratories in
Charleville was heavily looted and damaged during
World War I.[1] The
French Academy of Sciences awarded the 1893 "Prix Montague" to Cardot for his work on mosses.[2][3] Cardot named 40 genera and 1200 species.[4]
With
Ferdinand Renauld he edited and distributed two
exsiccata series, namely Musci Americae Septentrionalis exsiccati and (1892-1908) and Musci Europaei exsiccati (? 1902-1908).[5]
