French botanist
Claude Casimir Gillet (19 May 1806 in Dormans, department of Marne – 1 September 1896 in Alençon), was a French botanist and mycologist. 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".
Gillet was the taxonomic authority of the genera "Tubaria" (initially named a subgenus of "Agaricus" by Worthington George Smith) and "Microglossum".
He was honoured in 1899, when botanists P.A.Saccardo &amp; P.Sydow published "Gilletiella", which is a genus of fungi in the class Dothideomycetes.
