Alfred Wesmael (11 February 1832, Saint-Josse-ten-Noode - 9 November 1905, Nimy) was a Belgian professor of botany. His outstanding work in taxonomy saw him invited to become Visiting Professor at the University of Washington. He worked as a ''répétiteur'' of courses in botany at the ''Ecole d’horticulture de Vilvorde'', later being named director of the botanical gardens in Mons. At Mons he was also director of the ''Société d’Agriculture, d’Horticulture et de Zoologie''. In 1867, with Daniel Rapin (1799–1882), he participated in plant collection activities in Switzerland.〔(Quelques Personnalites en visite au Jardin Botanique de l'Universite de Liege, Entre 1880 et 1905 ) biographical sketch〕 His taxonomic findings were mainly published in the ''Bulletin de la Société Royale de Botanique de Belgique''.〔(IPNI ) List of taxa described & co-described by Wesmael.〕 His treatment of the genus ''Populus'' was included in Candolle's "Prodromus Systematis Naturalis Regni Vegetabilis".〔(Google Books ) Annual Report by Nebraska.
