About Jean-Baptiste Barla

  • Jean-Baptiste Barla (3 May 1817, Nice – 6 November 1896) was a French botanist. Barla was a man of independent means and dedicated himself to investigate the fungi and orchids of the South of France.
  • "Cette vĂ©gĂ©tation exceptionelle, doit Ă©videmment sa richesse et sa variĂ©tĂ© Ă  la configuration topographique, toute particulière, du bassin des Alpes-Maritimes.
  • Dans ce pays favorisĂ© par la nature, croissent la plupart des orchidĂ©es de France, d'Italie, d'Allemange, etc." (Introduction to illustrĂ©e de Nice et des Alpes-Maritimes). In 1846 with Jean Baptiste VĂ©rany (1800–1865) he founded the MusĂ©um d'histoire naturelle de Nice where wax casts of thousands of mushrooms he made or had made were exhibited.
