Madame Marie Lemoine was one of the most prolific taxonomists on fossil coralline red algae (Corallinales, Rhodophyta) during the 20th Century. She described three non-geniculate genera and over 90 species. Samples from all over the world were sent to her, and she usually sent them back to the collectors. Thus, a significant number of her types are housed in different institutions or might be lost. Some, however, are housed in the herbarium at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle in Paris (PC) where she worked for most of her life..
