Jean Louis Lucand
Jean Louis Lucand (11 November 1821, Beauvilliers, Yonne – 19 November 1896) was a French mycologist and mycological artist.
A career soldier, he served in the French military from 1842 to 1873. In 1866 he was named captain and a chevalier in the Legion of Honor. Following retirement from the army, he moved to the community of Autun, where he focused his energies on mycology.[1]
He was a founding member of the Société mycologique de France,[1] and also a member of the Société d'histoire naturelle du Creusot and the Société d'histoire naturelle et des amis du muséum d'Autun.[2] The species Rosa lucandiana was named in his honor by François-Xavier Gillot and Pierre Alfred Déséglise.[1][3]
