Biography
Auguste Pervillé was a horticulturist at the Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris. After moving to the island of Réunion in 1837, he began to send consignments of herbarium specimens to Paris, including collections from Madagascar and the Seychelles in 1842 and from Nossi-Bé in 1853. Among his collections were the giant coffee bean species, Coffea ambongensis J.-F.Leroy ex A.P.Davis & Rakotonas, and the pitcher plant Nepenthes pervillei Blume, named in his honour. In 1841-1842 he was a member of a mission sent to collect coffee plants and seed from Madagascar and Yemen, for transfer to French possessions.
