About this person
Düss taught at educational institutions in Martinique and Guadeloupe, where he conducted botanical research, collecting and cataloguing plant specimens throughout the French Antilles. His major work, "Flore des Antilles françaises," published in 1897, documented the phanerogamic flora of the region, and he later produced catalogues of cryptogams. For his scientific contributions, he was made an Officer of the Academy in 1898, an Officer of Public Instruction in 1905, and was appointed a Knight of the Legion of Honour shortly before his death.
