Camille Flagey

Camille Flagey (1837–1898) was a French lichenologist who studied lichens in Algeria.^[1]^[2]^[3]

Flagey edited two exsiccatae, namely Lichens de Franche-Comté et de quelques localités environnantes, publiés par C. Flagey, ingenieur civil (1882-1888) and Lichenes Algerienses exsiccati (1891-1895).^[4]

The early 1890s saw the emergence of the works of one of the scientists who contributed the most to Algerian lichenology, namely Camille Flagey (1837–1898). Established as a civil engineer in 1884 in Constantine (E Algeria), he studied the lichens, mainly of that area, for 15 years, his first published contribution being Herborisation lichénologique dans les environs de Constantine (Algérie) (Flagey 1888). He is better known for his three fascicles of exsiccatae (Flagey 1891a–b, 1892, 1895) and his Catalogue des lichens d'Algérie (Flagey 1896) published as part of Flore de l'Algérie. For his catalogue, Flagey drew on his own observations, mainly in the region of Constantine, and on those of Montagne; he also duly acknowledged the support of Nylander, Ferdinand Arnold (1828–1901) and Ernst Stizenberger (1827–1895) in its compilation. In doing so, he increased the number of lichen taxa for Algeria from the 180 recognized by Montagne to almost 650. Flagey's catalogue has remained to this day the most comprehensive compilation of Algerian lichens.
