### Author
Philippe, Xavier (earlier: Philippe Xavier Camus) (1802-1866), French naturalist, municipal librarian and plant salesman living at Bagnères-de-Bigorre.
**Abbreviated name**: *Philippe* \[standard form in IPNI: *Philippe*\]
#### Herbarium and types
Bryophytes in [[Collection PC|PC]], [[Collection H|H]] and [[Collection W|W]]. – Loret (1883) states that P's Pyrenean herbarium of 2000-3000 specimens was at the time at the Seminary of Oloron. Beck (1888) mentions 521 *Cryptogamae pyrenaicae* (227 lichens) at [[Collection W|W]]. See also Sayre (1975) for further details. Hertel (1980) mentions lichens at [[Collection M|M]]. Further material in [[Collection BORD|BORD]], [[Collection G|G]], [[Collection MANCH|MANCH]] and Soc. Versaill. Sci. nat.
#### Note
The M. in M. Philippe on the title-page of the *Fl. Pyren.* stands for "Monsieur". According to Ascherson and Graebner (AG 3: 616, 781) there was also a Philippe of Saint-Mandrier, near Toulon. This Philippe was director of the "jardin botanique de la marine impériale à Saint-Mandrier", see e.g. BSbF 7: 44. 1860. He published a list of plants of the Dépt. Var in BSbF 12: 191. 1865.
