Louis Jules Ernest Malinvaud

Louis Jules Ernest Malinvaud was a French physician and botanist.
Beginning in 1860, he studied medicine in Limoges and later Paris. After serving as a doctor during the Franco-Prussian War, he left the medical practice in order to concentrate his energies towards botany. As a botanist he collaborated with Pierre Marie Édouard Lamy de la Chapelle. From 1877 until 1881 he edited the exsiccata Menthae exsiccatae praesertim Galliae.
In 1861 he became a member of the Société botanique de France. The plant genus Malinvaudia was named after him by Eugène Pierre Nicolas Fournier.
