Casimir Roumeguère Explained

Casimir Roumeguère (15 August 1828 in Toulouse – 29 February 1892 in Toulouse) was a French botanist and mycologist.

He served as director of the journal Revue mycologique.^[1] His collections of fungi are included in several exsiccatae,^[2] including "Fungi Gallici exsiccati", "Fungi exsiccati praecipue Gallici",^[3] and "Fungi selecti exsiccati".^[4] His collection of algae is part of the exsiccatae series: "Algues de France", which he co-edited since 1883.^{[5] [6]}

In addition to his botanical and mycological research, he published a few works in the fields of geology, conchology and archaeology.^{[7] [8]}
