The French botanist and researcher André Michaux (1746-1802) was involved in botanical studies, which he initially carried out while travelling in England, France and Spain. On behalf of the French government, he embarked on a botanical mission to Persia. After two years, he returned with an extensive herbarium. The French King Louis XVI (1754-1793) sent him to the USA in 1785 to search for plants of importance to France. In 1786, he established a base in Charleston (North Carolina) in the form of a garden, from which he undertook many expeditions to various regions of North America and described and named numerous plants.
