Georges Delacroix

Botanist (1858-1907)

Édouard Georges Delacroix (24 January 1858 in Montrouge - 1 November 1907 in Paris) was a French mycologist and plant pathologist.

Beginning in 1886 he worked in the laboratory of plant pathology at the Institut nationale agronomique, where he later served as a lecturer of descriptive botany (from 1895) and plant pathology (from 1898). In 1899 he was named director of the Station de Pathologie végétale in Paris.[1]

His name is associated with the mycological species Aspergillus delacroixii (synonym, Aspergillus nidulans var. echinulatus).[2]
