"Elisée Reverchon (1834, Oullins, near Lyon – 1914, Miribel in the department of Ain) was a French botanical collector. His brother, Julien Reverchon (1837-1905), was also involved in the field of botany.
A resident of Bollène (department Vaucluse), he engaged himself in botanical missions to southeastern France (from 1867 to 1877), Corsica (1878-1880), Sardinia (1881–82) and Algeria (1881–82). He also conducted botanical investigations in Spain from 1887 and 1906 that are considered to be his most important work. During his later years, he lived in Lyon.
Some plants with the specific epithet of reverchonii are named in his honor." - (en.wikipedia.org 11.08.2021)
