Auguste François Le Jolis

Auguste François Le Jolis (1 December 1823, Cherbourg - 20 August 1904, Cherbourg) was a French merchant, judge and botanist.

He is largely known for investigations of cryptogams (algae, hepatics, mosses) found in the department of Manche. In August 1852, he was a founding member of the Société Nationale des Sciences Naturelles et Mathématiques de Cherbourg. Le Jolis distributed the exsiccata series Algues marines de Cherbourg.[1]

The algae genus Lejolisia (family Wrangeliaceae) was named after Le Jolis by Jean-Baptiste Édouard Bornet (1828-1911).[2]
