Biography
Alphonse Maille (1813, Rouen – 30 September 1865, Paris) was a French botanist.
In Paris, he studied botany under Adrien de Jussieu and worked on exsiccatae with Timothée Puel. In 1854 he was a founding member of the Société botanique de France.
During his career he assembled an important herbarium of approximately 1000 packages that contained about 60,000 species. After his death, botanist Jean-Louis Kralik published a catalog of Maille's collections as "Catalogue Des Reliquiae Mailleanae" (1869).
In 1842 the grass genus Maillea (synonym Phleum, family Poaceae) was named in his honor by Filippo Parlatore.
