About this person
He was the principal driving force behind successive editions of the Nouvelle Flore de la Belgique, du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg, du Nord de la France et des Régions voisines, which became the standard identification flora for vascular plants in Belgium, Luxembourg, northern France and neighbouring areas. His research also extended to lichens and lichenicolous fungi in Western Europe, the floristics of Luxembourg, and the flora of regions such as Central Africa and the Mediterranean basin. A wide range of vascular plants, bryophytes, fungi and even a cyanobacterium have been named in his honour, including the lichenicolous genus Lambinonia.
