Biography
French conservator who was appointed chief of the Réserves Naturelles in Madagascar and subsequently director. Madagascan specimens attributed to him (c. 13,500) and deposited at Paris were probably mostly collected by Malagasy collectors for the Réserves Naturelles. He was later Conservator for the Water and Forestry service in Djibouti and published on flora and fauna of the region. The genus Sabouraea Léandri in the Flacourtiaceae was named in his honour.
