Born into a family of Angouleme, Charles Gaudichaud (1789-1854) became a chemist in the Navy. He sailed round the world twice and spent over a year in South America. The Academy of Sciences awarded him the Montyon prize of physiology. He was elected to that Academy in 1837, where he succeded Antoine Laurent de Jussieu. He supported relentlessly the now obsolete theory of phytons in which he firmly believed. He classified his numerous collections of plants which he had brought from his voyages and he has left an imprint on the world of natural sciences, and especially botanics. A botanical genus is named after him as a tribute to his work, as well as many classificed species.
查尔斯·高迪肖（1789 - 1854）出生于昂古莱姆家族，成为了一名海军化学家。他两次环游世界，在南美洲度过了一年多时间。科学院授予他蒙蒂翁生理学奖。1837年他当选为该科学院院士，接替了安托万·洛朗·德·朱西厄的职位。他坚定不移地支持他坚信的现已过时的植物素理论。他对自己航海带回的众多植物标本进行了分类，在自然科学领域，尤其是植物学领域留下了印记。为了向他的工作致敬，以他的名字命名了一个植物属，还有许多已分类的物种也是如此。
