André Thouin (10 February 1746 – 24 October 1824) was a French botanist born in Paris. His younger brother, Gabriel Thouin (1747–1829), was a noted landscape architect. He studied botany under Bernard de Jussieu (1699–1777), and in 1793 attained the chair of horticulture at the "''Muséum national d'histoire naturelle''" in Paris. He was a good friend of U.S. President Thomas Jefferson, and the godfather of Jean Baptiste Lamarck's son Andre. He is denoted by the author abbreviation Thouin when citing a botanical name. Thouin is remembered for contributions made in the field of agronomy, including scientific studies that involved improved grafting techniques and seed selection. He was a pioneer conservationalist, stressing the importance of replacing woodlands to compensate for their destruction due to human encroachment. The plat genus ''Thouinia'' (family Sapindaceae) is named after him.〔(BHL ) Taxonomic literature : a selective guide to botanical publications〕〔(The Plant List ) Thouinia〕 As a taxonomist he described the genus ''Celanthera'' (1786; family Marattiaceae).〔(IPNI ) Celanthera〕 == Selected publications == * ''Description de l'École d'agriculture pratique du Muséum d'histoire naturelle'', (1814) * ''Manuel d'arboriculture.
