Biography
René Paul Raymond Capuron (1921 – 24 August 1971) was a French botanist. Capuron was responsible for an extensive amount of work on the tree flora of Madagascar. Taxa with the specific epithet of capuronii honor his name, examples being Podocarpus capuronii and Schizolaena capuronii.
Works
Highlights of his work include:
- M. arillata — a new species of Mauloutchia, formed from the collection of Myristicaceae specimens.
- Takhtajania perrieri — the only extant representative of the family Winteraceae. Capuron was the first to rediscover the plant, following its last sighting by Henri Perrier de la Bathie, back in 1909.
