Ils étaient médecins, pharmaciens, curés, agriculteurs, militaires, employés, instituteurs ou professeurs. Ils ont parcouru les routes et les sentiers, les prés, les bois et les marais de leur canton. Ils ont observé, décrit, nommé, classé les plantes à fleurs qu’ils collectaient. Ils ont échangé des correspondances, constitué des herbiers, publié de brèves notices dans des bulletins scientifiques ou entrepris des flores régionales ou nationales. C’est à eux que l’on doit la connaissance des espèces végétales poussant sur le sol de la France. Ce faisant, ils ont réalisé un inventaire sans lequel les travaux sur la biodiversité, son histoire et sa distribution géographique, comme les mesures en faveur de sa protection, ne seraient pas possibles. Devenus célèbres ou demeurés presque obscurs, ces botanistes revivent ici par le texte et l’illustration, dans autant de biographies qui retracent leurs itinéraires personnels et les resituent dans leur temps et dans l’évolution de la systématique végétale du xviiie siècle à nos jours.

The text of the manuscript, preserved in the Archives of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, is published here for the first time, with an introduction providing historical context, explanatory notes, and indexes of plant names and of persons and works mentioned. In this autobiography of his early life (1800-1834), George Bentham, nephew of the great Utilitarian philosopher Jeremy Bentham, offers a lively depiction of the times, both in England and on the Continent, particulary of post-Napoleonic France, where he lived with his family for twelve years. An emerging figure himself in the field of botany - where he would prove to be one of the great taxonomists of the century - George Bentham worked creatively for the scientific societies he joined, activity that culminated in his becoming an unofficial ambassador-at-large at scientific congresses in Europe in the 1830s, which he describes in enthusiastic detail.
