Giovanni Gussone (8 February 1787, Villamaina – 14 January 1866, Naples) was an Italian academic and botanist, remembered for his work in plant taxonomy and his research of Sicilian flora. He studied medicine in Naples, where he came under the influence of botanist Michele Tenore. Following graduation in 1811, he worked under Tenore as a manager of the ''Orto Botanico di Napoli'' (botanical garden in Naples). In 1817 he moved to Sicily, where he was appointed director of the botanical garden at Boccadifalco, outside of Palermo. In Sicily, he conducted extensive investigations of the island's flora, publishing two major works as a result, "''Florae Siculae Prodromus''" and "''Florae Siculae Synopsis''". In 1827 he returned to Naples as superintendent of the botanical gardens. In 1861 he was named by Victor Emmanuel as professor emeritus of the University of Naples.〔This article incorporates translated text from an equivalent article at the French Wikipedia.〕〔(JSTOR Global Plants ) (biography)〕 Plants with the specific epithet of ''gussonei'' are named in his honor, an example being ''Petagnaea gussonei''.〔 == Written works == * "Plantae rariores" (1826). * "Florae siculae prodromus" (1827-1828). * "Flora sicula" (1829). * "Florae siculae synopsis" (1842-1845). * "Enumeratio plantarum vascularium in insula Inarime" (1855).〔English Wikisource Author:Giovanni Gussone〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Giovanni Gussone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
