Achille Eugène Finet Explained
Achille Eugène Finet (1863, Argenteuil - 1913, París) was a French botanist best known for his study of orchids native to Japan and China.[1]
Within the family Orchidaceae, he was the taxonomic authority of the genera Arethusantha, Hemihabenaria, Monixus and Pseudoliparis as well as of numerous orchid species. With François Gagnepain, he circumscribed a number of plant species from the family Annonaceae.[2]
In 1925 Hu Xiansu named the orchid genus Neofinetia in his honor.[3]
