Guichenotia
Guichenotia is a genus of about 16 species of flowering plant which are endemic to the south west of Western Australia.
The genus name honours Antoine Guichenot, gardener's boy on the 1801–1803 French scientific voyage to Australia under Nicolas Baudin. Guichenot was poorly educated, with poor literacy skills and little knowledge of plants, yet worked extremely hard, collecting more plant specimens than the officially appointed botanist, Jean Baptiste Leschenault de la Tour, and, despite his poor literacy, labelling them with much more useful annotations.
Species include:
- Guichenotia alba Keighery
