Louis Auguste Joseph Desrousseaux (27 July 1753 – 20 January 1838) was a French botanist and pteridologist. He was a contributor to the "Encyclopedia Botanique" of Lamarck, from 1783 to 1796.
Desrousseaux produced many works on new plant species, creating 414 new records.[1]
In 1828, botanist Augustin Pyramus de Candolle (DC.) published Rousseauxia, a genus of flowering plants from Madagascar, belonging to the family Melastomataceae and named in honour of Louis Auguste Joseph Desrousseaux.[2]
