Adolphe Theodore Brongniart

Adolphe Théodore Brongniart (January 14, 1801 - February 18, 1876) was a French botanist. He was the son of the geologist Alexandre Brongniart.

Brogniart's pioneering work on the relationships between extinct and existing plants has earned him the title of father of paleobotany. His major work on plant fossils was his Histoire des végétaux fossiles (1828–37). In 1827 he published the first account of the development of pollen.

Brogniart founded the Annales des Sciences Naturelles in 1824 with Jean Victoire Audouin and Jean-Baptiste Dumas. He also founded the Société Botanique de France in 1854, and was its first president.
