Alphonse Gustave Révillon d'Apreval[1] (1 November 1851 – 22 February 1915) was a French botanical illustrator and lithographer, known for his images in Plantae Davidianae (1884–88), Illustrationes Florae Insularum Maris Pacifici (1886–92) and Histoire physique, naturelle et politique de Madagascar (1882).[2][3][4]Henri Ernest Baillon, the French physician and botanist, and main contributor to Histoire physique, naturelle et politique de Madagascar,[5] named a new genus d'Aprevalia after him in 1884,[6] no doubt in honour of his illustrating the work, but the name was later placed under Delonix by René Paul Raymond Capuron.[7][8]
A number of species such as Commiphora aprevalii (Baill.) Guillaumin, were named to commemorate him.[9]
