Etymology of Boscia:
For Louis Augustin Guillaume Bosc (1759–1828), French botanist, invertebrate zoologist, entomologist and horticulturist. He studied botany under Antoine Laurent de Jussieu at the Jardins des plantes. In 1797 he moved to America, due to the unrest in France, where he explored its natural riches. Much of what he discovered is included in the works of BGE de Lacépède (fish), PA Latreille (reptiles) and others. In 1803, a few years after his return to France, he was made inspector of the gardens and the public nurseries at Versailles. His copious contributions to scientific literature include Dictionnaire d’histoire naturelle, the Encyclopedic methodique, and he was one of the editors of the Annales de l’agriculture francaise. In 1806 he was elected a member of the Academy of Science and in 1825 took the Chair of Plant Culture at the National Museum of Natural History.
