Claude Casimir Gillet

Claude Casimir Gillet (1806-1896)

Claude Casimir Gillet (19 May 1806 in Dormans, department of Marne 1 September 1896 in Alençon), was a French botanist and mycologist.[1] He initially trained as a medical doctor and veterinarian.

As a veterinarian, he worked for four years in Africa. Around 1853 he developed a passion for mycology, subsequently publishing a number of works on the subject. In 1867 he became a corresponding member of the Société Linnéenne de Normandie.[2]

Gillet was the taxonomic authority of the genera Tubaria (initially named a subgenus of Agaricus by Worthington George Smith) and Microglossum.[3][4]
