(*fl*. 1844), French author. **Abbreviated name**: *Champy* \[standard form in IPNI: *Champy*\] #### Herbarium and types Unknown. #### Bibliography and biography Barnhart 1: 330; BM 1: 335; Jackson p. 347; NI 346; PR 1660, ed. 1: 1800. ### Publications ##### n.1085. Flore algérienne **Title** *Flore algérienne*, avec texte descriptif des plantes, arbustes et arbres indigènes, dont un grand nombre est cultivé au Jardin des plantes à Paris, par Champy, Attaché au Jardin du Roi, ornée de 40 planches dessinées et lithographiées par Th. Toulet de Paris. Paris 1844. Oct. **Abbreviated title**: *Fl. algér.* **Notes** *Publ*.: 1844, before Oct (rev. Buchinger, Flora 14 Oct 1844), p. \[i\]-vii, \[1\]-53, *41 pl. Copy*: Koninklijke Bibliotheek, the Hague. – Note by Pritzel: "L'ouvrage que nous publions, n'est pas un traité de botanique... Verba editoris." – The 41 lithographs (frontispiece and nos. 1-40) are difficult to surpass in lack of quality. On the original cover they are referred to as 72 sujets coloriés (many plates show two plants). However, copies with uncoloured plates were also available. – The book was evidently brought out in a fit of nationalism because of the then recent conquest of Algeria: "L'Algérie est désormais française" (introduction by the editor J. Delahaye). The text, 53 p., contains many aberrant spellings of scientific names of plants; all these variant orthographies should be treated as unintentional errors which are not validly published. – The identity of the author remains somewhat mysterious. *Ref*.: BM 1: 335; Jackson p. 347; NI 346; PR 1660. - Cosson et Durieu de Maisonneuve, FI.
