Albert Gaillard


Albert Gaillard was a French mycologist.
From 1889 to 1903, he worked as curator of the Lloyd herbarium in Angers. In 1887 he collected mycological and botanical specimens in Venezuela; mainly in the vicinity of Puerto Ayacucho and places along the Orinoco River, journeying as far as San Fernando de Atabapo. In Colombia, he collected specimens along the Rio Guaviare, a tributary of the Orinoco.
The genus Gaillardiella was named in his honor by Narcisse Théophile Patouillard.
